Yes. This is exactly what I'm talking about. But here's the thing.
With Windows NT 4, you were given a chance to press F6 in the early
goings of the install. However, if you needed drivers for the boot
device, you had to press F6 long before the prompt ever came. Might
the same be true of Windows XP? Anyway, this is why I was under the
impression you may be able to replace even the ATAPI drivers.

Well, it's been a while since I last did an NT4 install but I don't
remember it being different in that regard.

This is where it gets a little gray. I never tried to specify an
ATAPI driver here. I've only used RAID drivers, but I was guessing
maybe you could put in a driver diskette in for IDE just as well as
you could SCSI or RAID. Maybe not, but I'd like to give it a go.

Well, I never tried putting in an IDE driver for the already detected IDE
either so, hey, give it a shot.
 
At this point I don't understand how you tell it to 'change' the IDE device

Well, the whole reason I'm discussing rather than doing is I don't
have the hardware available to test it. The guy that started the
thread, on the other hand, does. <wink><wink>
