Ok, but there is no need for a special AMD IDE driver to get Windows XP installed. The on-board MS IDE driver named PCIIDE.SYS will do the job as well, maybe even better.
so i have heard Fernando, but i am anal about such things. you can find this driver by using various driver scanner/update tools, you never really know their true origin, its very rare to find it direct from amd, i never find it in amds driver packages, but seeing as it magically appeared in an official package direct from amd, i thought i would share.
Ok, but it has nothing to do with the topic of this Sub-Forum. There are IDE drivers from several chipset manufacturers, bot none of them are required to get an OS installed.
