Hi Eric :-) > 123?DEVICEHIGH=C:\FDOS\bin\UIDE.SYS /D:FDCD0001
Do you already use the newest version? The original is here: http://johnson.tmfc.net/dos/driver.html (newest: 2010-12-05) > I always encountered "BAD Controller" error messages and then says > UIDE.SYS cannot load. So is there any way to make this driver work? I > google a lot and it seemed only this driver is popular for SATA > devices. The source code says that this message can be shown if not both flags "busmaster" and "memory mapped I/O" are active. This might be related to your BIOS settings, in particular for SATA. Some BIOSes may need settings as AHCI, "legacy mode" or "native IDE". You can control those settings in your BIOS CMOS setup which is a config menu that you can reach by pressing a hotkey at boot. The hotkeys can be different for different BIOS brands though. Regards, Eric :-) PS: You can also run tools like PCISLEEP (option L) to get a list of PCI / AGP / PCIe / onboard devices in your system but I think that UIDE can already display some relevant data, see the readme. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
