Do these IDE drivers help anything for winxp? I tried installing them and they made all my IDE drives SCSI including my CD-ROM drives. If people did decide to keep these drivers, how are you doing with boot up times? My boot up time is increased by 12 seconds for the SCSI.SYS to load up. If anybody knows a workaround to this particular event, then i would be gratefull and will keep the new IDE drivers.
