    Post Win 2000 drivers for IDE or CD?

    I have an 133 MHz PC on which I loaded Win 2000 server.

    All works fine including the IDE CD drive (from which 2000 was loaded)

    Every time I boot the PC I get messages saying that found new hardware for the CD and both IDE channels.

    I search for drivers without success.

    I'm not sure if I should be looking for a CD driver (LG the CD maker thinks I should be looking for a bus mastering IDE driver)

    or an IDE driver

    As I can't find the motherbaord makers name I'm working on the BIOS name AMI although their utility does not identify the BIOS or Motherboard maker.

    The BIOS number

    51-3109-000807-00011111-101094-SiS551X-Z

    is not listed on the AMI site.

    The soldered in chip has

    586
    D456115

    printed on it.

    Any help on which driver I need to rid me of the startup messages (or a way to simply stop them as the PC/CD works fine !) would be most appreciated.

    your cd maker is prolly right. get yourself an updated driver specifically for your board.

    Cool

    Consider a motherboard/CPU combo upgrade...you can pick up a much faster combo, although not state-of-the-art, for $125 or so (Celeron 500 system at http://www.pricewatch.com). You would be much happier...
