>> Re: Re: Vista driver woes, update or upgrade?
I'm not anti-FDD, although it would be nice to have CD/DVD support for F6. I'd prefer USB flash drives and/or removeable drive support though. 
Don't feel bad Gerritt. One of my discs was diplaying "error" in the RAID array, although it was still bootable. I spent hours making images of both XP and Vista drives with Acronis, deleted the RAID array and recreated it, only to find that my images were both faulty anyway. Here we go from scratch again.

Thank you for not p**sing in my oatmeal, Gerritt.

XP never required drivers via F6 for SATA that I know of. XP required drivers for large hard drives (137g and up) of both SATA and ATA/IDE until SP2 corrected that.
Well, never isnt quite true. It really depends on the mobo. I for one have never had to install SATA drivers on loading for XP, never. But some people had to.

Maybe that's why I qualified my statement with "that I know of".
We've used mainly Gigabyte and Intel boards (high to medium end) since SATA was available without a problem. We also used a few Asus boards (all high end, for our own systems), 1 MSI (that was 1 too many, don't ask) 1 DFI (again 1 too many and again don't ask ) and 1 Abit (only because that's when they started having problems and weren't sure if they'd be around for support). I too, have never had to install drivers for an SATA drive.

Bobby,
It is my hope that I didn't do anything to your oatmeal.
I still have issues with my present GPU implementation.
