May I ask why you need those drivers?
ASUS suport guy give me this link for the new Promise drivers.

I saw that Anandtech did a review of of 17 of the VIA KT266 chipset and they listed that they tested the ASUS A7V266-E with 1005beta drivers. Asus site currently only has the 1004b drivers

When did you check it out?

WhiteWizard.
Asus site says the driver is for a7v133.

Sorry, if I'm wrong, did you mean bios? Or are there any drivers w/those numbers?

lol... I had checked it out about 30 minutes before my first post on this thread.... just rechecked it and now it's there... doh

Yes, they point me to this promisxp.exe driver when I had the A7V133, but I read it set "Promise ATA 100/RAID driver for WinXP", I'm afraid the A7V266-E has the same Promise chip, same Promise BIOS revision, and the driver is working prefectly now that I move to the A7V266-E.
