Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008Windows won't accept latest Promise UltraATA 100 TX2 driver
Rather, it insists that I have the correct driver. By manually comparing the driver dates, the one I got from Promise is clearly newer, but Windows won't use it. Do I have any options? The older driver prevents Windows from properly recognizing my 250GB drive. It sees only a 137 GB drive. If I attempt to position any part of any partition (regardless of format) past 137 GB, Windows will fail to boot. It will reach the point where it attempts to display the animated boot splash screen and then just sits there, not accessing the drive.

In the device manager right-click the Promise Controller, "Update driver...", then "No, not this time" -> Next -> "Install from a list or..." -> Next -> "Don't search." -> Next -> "Have Disk" -> browse to the INF file here. Uwe I tried that. Didn't help. -- will 68 at mtco dot com will dot pittenger1 at gmail dot com (use this address for large signatures) >> Rather, it insists that I have the correct driver.
