Promise Tech Ultra IDE Driver Missing
Nov 2, 2009
I have a Rock Quaddra Ti laptop - Its really a Clevo D880p. Sager also rebranded it. It has a RAID controller which my hard drive is connected to. Im not using the RAID functionality in any way.
When I try to install windows 7 from XP, it says that the PROMISE TECH ultra IDE driver is required. It then offers me the option to browse to it to conitnue my update.
Unfortunately I can not find any Vista or Windows 7 drivers for this piece of hardware. Its rather surprising as it was quite a popluar laptop at the time, very well known for its power.
Can i just skip this stage, and the drive still work? Or does anyone know of a solution? The laptop is 6 years old - surely someone must have updated theirs with vista and must have a windows 7 compatible driver?

Before I buy Windows 7, I would like to know if my Promise Ultra100 TX2 IDE Pci card will be detected and work? I only have a single ide channel on this mobo (C drive & DVD), and need this card to work for my other two hard drives. I'm 71 years old and don't have the money to replace this with sata drives. Or just stay with XP & Ubuntu?

I'm in a fight with windows 7.
The problem is i'm having is that i can't find any sata drivers for my Promise 378 controller.
I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 edition.
But no luck so far.
In the bios i have set the promise chipset to operate in IDE mode.
Because i'm using only 1 drive.
Tried the VIA drivers for the onboard chipset as well, they only operate in raid.
So those won't work.
Spend like 5 hours online googling for it but no luck so far.

I noticed the other day when I was reading through the forum that there is a Windows 8 site. I checked it out and it is nice to see that when the betas come out people will be able to help each other there. I also have notice that there are some great people on this site and have resolved many problems with Windows 7.
My question is: Is there a sister site to this one for Windows XP? And do the same smart users here read and reply in it? I have a Windows XP problem that no one has been able to solve and I would like to post it in these forums and see if someone is smarter than Microsoft at resolving a problem.

I bought Windows 7 from Amazon.com and when I called up Microsoft for support they told me that they don't support open windows 7 what ever that means. So I paid the same price but no support because I didn't buy it from Microsoft. I'm just confused. Can someone explain this to me or was the tech person just full of crap?

I am considering the purchase of a NetGear ReadyNas Ultra 2 Plus for my home network.At the present time, I have a file server that is about 6 years old running an old pair of 200GB hard drives.While these drives are not mirrored, they are synchronized multiple times per day using Robocopy.I've reached the point where I don't want to manage and maintain a server (windows or linux) to provide simply storage on my network. By going with a NAS device, I can eliminate OS patches and updates and having to maintain another device. The NAS device will consume less power than my server, and take less physical space.And these NAS devices have DNLA built-in, so streaming from my PS3 and 360 should be simple. And the particular version of this NAS device offers iSCSI target support...which i could take advantage of in my virtual lab at home.
I've found the Ultra 2 Plus for $379 from Amazon.This model has the dual core atom processor, which is advertised and reviewed to provide around 30% more performance than the single core atom offering.. I'm planning to add a pair of 2TB Seagate Barracude Green 64MB Cache and run them in the mirrored Netgear X-RAID2 setup. This provides a mechanism so that I can actually replace the 2TB drives later with larger drives without having to backup and restore data to the device.Any particular reason you guys can think of to say this is a bad idea? With both drives, I'm looking at $619 for a small, silent device, which allows hot-swap drives, easy sharing and support for my 360/PS3 and it provides 2TB of mirrored storage space.

I really like the new up-scaling ability built into the latest version of PowerDVD9 Ultra.It really works well.
Is there any way to tell Media Center to use it as the default DVD player when I go to play a stored DVD on my hard drive?
Power DVD9 is already my default player for my BluRay isos. I would really like to use it for my SD DVDs also.

I have a couple of questions regarding the use of VirtualBox on win7 ultimate (64bit). I want to run WindowsXP (32 bit) as a guest so in regards to the installation/setup of the OS the following questions arise: 1a)Does VirtualBox "look" at the actual motherboard and peripherals, ie my gtx660 and asus p8z77-pro, or will it create generic video/mobo/audio/lan/wireless "hardware" for windowsXP to detect. If its "created" where/how do i get the drivers for this? 1b)Will running updates for WinXP (ie patches/hotfixes) or any of the other programs installs "mess" with how the virtualbox operates? 2a)In terms of creating the "storage" for the virtual OS. Should i have made a seperate partition exclusively for this virtual box? I have a 2TB HD which i have split into 1TB partitions when I installed win7. 2b)What happens when I end my guest session in virtualbox, after I install the OS and games? where does that data get saved? 3)I understand that when I run winXP through virtualbox, the ram I set aside in the setup will be unavail for my win7 to use (while i run virtualbox of course). I currently have 16 gigs or ram, should I just set the ram amt for winXP to the 4 gig max and leave 12 for Win7? or should i do some other amt? 4)Last, but most important, if i mess-up with the install of winXP or settings for the guest client, how much will it affect win7?

I installed VM ware installed XP mode English thinking I could change locale well no dice, So I was wondering can I install another XP mode but this time in Japanese, I don't have to worry about licenses since I have like 12 copies of XP, Reason is that I have programs that work only in XP English and others that only work in the Japanese Unicode, As for info App Locale is not an option since it doesn't boot the program, Mind you I dont need to run them at the same time.

Microsoft and Red Hat Complete Cooperative Technical Support
I'm Mike Neil, general manager of Windows Server and Server Virtualization. Back in February we announced our work with Red Hat to enable cooperative technical support for virtualized environments. I'm excited to announce we've completed certification in each others' programs!
Customers now can deploy Microsoft Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux and a range of select applications, virtualized on Red Hat and Microsoft virtualization products, knowing that the combined solutions will be supported by both companies.
Here are the details:Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 have passed cert tests when running on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. See more at RedHat's certified hardware site. Windows Server 2003/ Windows Server 2008 / Windows Server 2008 R2 are validated to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, using their KVM-based hypervisor.
See more at Microsoft Server Virtualization Validation Program site. Beyond the OS, both companies have select applications that would receive technical support when running on certified server virtualization software. The Microsoft applications can be seen in KB article 957006. On the Red Hat side, you can now run JBoss Enterprise Middleware within a virtual machine guest on Hyper-V and receive coordinated technical support. This is a step forward for enterprise customers, hosting providers, systems integrators, and those who want to offer their customers the top x86 operating systems to run applications.

I am having a problem with windows 7 finding my network adapters on a soft restart. If a hard re-boot (unplug the damn thing) then the network adapter shows up with no problem, but on soft restart it cant seem to find my network adapters. I am running a BFG Tech motherboard, which is especially frustrating because the install disc that came with the mother board isn't compatible past windows XP, and the company's website has shut down.

I'm trying to format the above listed card through my Toshiba Sattilite 660-x running windows 7 w/ an sd adapter card slot from out of my Nokia E-5 cellphone. It keeps telling me in 6 attempts that windows cannot format it. Properties on the card show it as full, but it has never had more than 16gb put on it. As this card is not even 2 months old. Is there a site that can use to format this on freeware...etc?

Ok so I think I have a new one. I downloaded a copy of Windows 7 and obtained a key through the MSDNA program that my uni subscribes to. This is a completely legitimate operation that (from what I can see) is putting out the release version of window 7 a bit early. When installing I don't get any "This is beta software, it may break" style messages and while I can't find the version string, I'm thinking that it is what is going to go out to the public.
Through the MSDNA program a downloader gets the iso, and then verifies the CRC so there is no chance of a download error.
So I try to install and every time get "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. (etc)".
Here is what I have tried, roughly in order.
Official sata, then raid, then ide drivers from motherboard manufacturer (via flash drive). Using IDE cd drive (liteon) instead of sata cd drive (liteon) Using a usb-based cd drive (optiarec) on different usb ports with various states of other drives plugged in / not plugged in. Using a flash drive to install by copying files from iso. (worked fine.
Same cd error messageTried this with various states of including and removing cd drives because I though if installer could not see any drive it may cry. Tried along with above drivers. Tried along with all previous vista installed drivers from drivestore folder and around. (took bloody ages) Tried with other non-official drivers Tried a few cd, ahci, etc drivers from vista.
Tried various states of using previous versions (7100 and 7048) drivers. Went back to the sata drive, then the IDE drive with various different bios settings. Tried sata drive on different chipset (I have two different sata controllers on the board). Unfortunately could not turn main sata controller off because I need it for my hdd.
Tried various drivers and driver packs semi-official, then anything I could find on rapidshare etc. These included large nforce packs. Tried removing all the sata hdds except the ones I need. Burnt a 7100 dvd which seemed to work fine. Tried cd swapping at various stages of install (i'm getting desperate here). Tried changing boot order as per windows kb [edit] Also: (gah it deleted my edit)
I am running a M2N32-sli deluxe board. It's an epic board with vast amounts of feature but I can't set ahci / ide (etc) mode on it. I don't have the official driver cd for this board any more, but I've tried all the official drivers and they don't work. I'm trying to install onto raided raptors, So I can't install on a different system and move the drives (I could but it would be messy and I'm not quite that desperate yet).
I think thats it I have read every forum thread tried everything I possibly can. The stupid thing Is that in searching for a driver I can look in my large (1tb) volumes, the flash drive, and cd drives and even my raided raptor drives. Everything works fine but because of this (I'm beginning to believe bugged) screen I can't go any further.
To try next:
Different methods of flash installation (bartpe instead of straight copy) Bios updates for motherboard / drives (pretty sure running close to top version though). Other ... dirty ... tricks.
I'm supposed to be getting this version as the pre-cutting edge wave of folks who are going to say yer go get this it's awesome and people believe me because I do everything with computers. If I can't get past things like this then lamen folk sure as hell aren't going to be able to.

I'm building a multimedia server that is going to be running Windows 7 Ultimate as the OS. I have a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate and I created a bootable flash drive and loaded the ISO files on it.
This new system doesn't even have a CD/DVD drive installed on it which is why I'm using a flash drive to install it. Everything boots up fine from the beginning, asks me for the language and all the other stuff. When I click on INSTALL it then gives me a screen that says:
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for his step." I have done a little bit of research and people suggest using the SATA drivers for the motherboard. I've tried that and still doesn't work. I have all the minimal stuff on the motherboard. Only one SATA HDD (500GB WD Green) 2GB of RAM, USB keyboard and mouse and that's it.
The only thing I can think of is that Windows doesn't realize it's being installed from a flash drive. I tried hooking up a DVD ROM drive to see if that would help but still got the same error.
