Upgrading OS, Installation Error

[Guest]

Iv been trying to upgrade to XP Pro from Windows 2000 and during the
installation the
set up asks for a file "viaide.sys" what is this file and whats it suppost to
do .......and what im i suppost to do from here on ?

I tryed serching and found nothing but BS. Nothing
helpfull, useless hits.

The setup acts like it needs the file. I tryed to locate the file and found
it in the System32 folder and it wouldnt accept it, nore would it take the
one on the cd - "viaide.sy"

Whats this sound like ?

Help ! Please !

I'd guess that it is the via ide controller driver. Check their web site for
a Windows XP version of the driver. http://usa.asus.com/index.aspx
