Driver for ide controller card?

[mikee]

I just got my computer fixed at a shop and they installed a ide controller so I can hook up mi second hard drive. When I got windows installed my second hard drive is not being detected on the card so I was wondering where to get a vista compatable driver. All i know is the manufacturer of the card is promise but since i didn't actually install the card myself that is all the info I have.

this is what it says in the device manager



its the mass storage controller

Promise only lists having made one of those:

Internet Product Section -

Drives under downloads, I have no way of knowing if they're vista compatible.

but is there any way to find out the exact name of the card so I can get the correct drivers?

edit:

I downloaded the driver from ur link but theres no setup file

these are the files
txtsetup.oem
ultra
i386 (folder)
amd64(folder)

Further down the page there is a .exe version of the driver.

 

[mikee]

the exe is only for win9x and xp, won't work for vista

 

[mikee]

does anyone know if there is a vista driver available?

You should try emailing the company. If they can't get you one- take the card back where you bought it and tell them its nonfunctional.

I found a driver that says vista compatible but when i installed it windows wouldnt boot even in safe mode so I had to repair install to fix it.

Is your new HD set as the slave? Is it possible it detected the new HD and tried to boot from it?

 

[mikee]
