| IDE card giving wierd error I moved my file server to a new case (review will follow) but now my promise IDE card is doing something wierd. The drivers for the card are installed, and working. I can also see the drives atached to it, but the primairy and secundairy channels themselves won't work. Eery time I start windows I get the found new hardware wizard for these 2 channels. And it gives an error: The driver was not designed for this system (rough translation from dutch: Het stuurprogramma is niet voor dit systeem ontworpen). In device manager, there's a yellow exclamation mark, and the error "code 28" (looked it up in MS KB and it just says to reinstall the device) I also tried clearing the drivers and reinstalling them with latest and latest WHQL, to no avail. And I found something about uppel and lower filters on the net. I cleared those too, but still the same poblem. Anyone got a clue what's going on here. It's just annoying, cause the drives do appear to be woking fine. |

| Did you try older drivers? Maybe the newer ones are in conflict with your chipset drivers... Did you check the Promise webby for this error? I also have a Promise TX IDE card, has worked in many different setups without flaws... Have seen some RAID cards 'lose' a channel (so 2 drives are invisible) though. |

| Via drivers ? Which motherboard ? Uninstall the ide-card, remove the card, remove/uninstall everything that might relate to the card ... and start again

| yea, daemon tools was there. Problem is that I just moved the hardware to another case. And shuffeled some of the hard drives. I did try older drivers, latest 2 and the latest WHQL ones. Retried the intel chipset drivers but nothing worked. Anyway, format did the quick and dirty trick of solving the problem. |
