Ide controller not supported

[Guest]

I have a self-built system with these specs.
Intel 850MD
Intel Pentium 4 @1.7 Ghz
768 Mb Rambus
Radeon 8500 agp video
unsupported soundcard which I can pull out and use onboard sound

I run the Vista upgrade advisor on this system and also on two other boards,
the Intel D101GGC and an Athlon K7. The only one that will allow
installation is the Athlon but that has some problems also. I don't know
what to do about the Intel boards with unsupported IDE controls which are on
the motherboards. I can't find anything on Intel's site either. Any help
would be appreciated. I have not been able to find any drivers that it says
I need.

It appears that particular model of motherboard has no further support from
Intel, so it is unlikely that any drivers for Vista would be forthcoming.
Your graphics card is also not supported for Vista.

I know that Intel is no longer supporting the 850MD but the D101GGC is still
being supported and that gives the same message about the ide controller when
I try to install. I need someone to point me in the direction to find a
solution please. Not sure this forum will yield answers. Will search for
more tech minded forums.

Thanks.

IDE: Intel Application Accelerator [IATA_ENU.EXE] (1973KB) 2.3.0.2164
12/2/2002

I downloaded that from Intel.com and then used
c:\temp\iata_enu.exe -A -A -P c:\temp\I_AA\

To extract the drivers from the setup program. Then I zipped up just the
win2k_xp folder contents for you, place it on a floppy and it should work
with the F6 Command
