Hi all, I have an "IWILL" motherboard of KK266 series, 40gig Maxtor HD, 1GB of pc133 ram, and XP pro. Everytime I start it up, it tries to find "VIA bus master IDE driver" through the hardware detection feature, and it never finds the driver. I don't notice anything significant that is disfunctional. But it's kinda anonying to see the hardware detection window and an unfound driver message everytime I start the computer. Anyone has any insight? Thank you in advance!

Have you installed the latest 4.37 4-in-1s? If not, try that first.

Yeah, it did this when I installed 4.37 too, except that it searched, found and installed ones from WINDOWS\INF which I guess would be the former ones. It only did this after the initial reboot done by the driver installation. Seems happy enough using it. This was under 98.
One fix might be to install an older version of the Via 4-in-1 (preferably the last version), then install the 4.37 driver. At least Windows should then have a driver it can find and use.

No. Actually Windows/Inf is the right version, the one you
were installing. That's how it goes, the SETUP copied files there,
and after a reboot Windows *finds* them there.

Yeah, it was okay under the window98 OS, but XP just didn't like the driver or something. Does anyone have XP with the same motherboard and experiencing this kind of problem?

It may well be it was the right version, but with all previous versions I have installed, normally Windows just goes ahead and installs the driver after the reboot, whereas with the 4.37 drivers, for some reason, Windows says it must search for the driver. I don't know if it has any bearing with regard to the problem on this thread, but at least with my particular setup, the 4.37 installer behaved in a different manner to all the previous versions.

WinXppro already has up to date Via drivers included in it.Just make XP look at its own system files to find the driver since its already there,CC

I've tried to point the driver detection to my hard drive's system folder, system32 folder and any possible folders I think a driver might be in. None was found. It still look for drivers every time I boot up. By the way, the unfound driver is under SCSI and RAID controller in the device manager. The driver it tries to find is call "VIA bus master IDE driver". Thanks for all the suggestions. I just wish missing this driver doesn't affect anything. I'm not useing a raid layout for my hard drives. So it should be okay right? I would like to solve this problem if possible though.

I also have this same problem everytime I start my computer. Have you found a fix yet? Do you know how to at least uninstall the via 4in1 driver completely? Thanks for any help.  |
