nVidia latest ATA drivers break WinXP Travan tape handling
I installed updated nVidia nForce motherboard drivers (to cope with an
ATI graphics problem) and accidentally installed their new ATA drivers (I should know better). Today I went to run NTBackup, and it couldn't find any of my media -- actually it's XPs RSM which couldn't see any of the media -- in my antique TR4 Travan tape drive (attached to one of the aforementioned ATA channels). Luckily I figured out the culprit (although I could not figure out a fix), so I just rolled the driver back to previous version .. problem solved. I can't see any way of reporting the issue to Asus/nVidia, so I thought I just document it here, for benefit of any fellow sufferers. nVidia STILL can't write ATA drivers! -- GSV Three Minds in a Can Outgoing Msgs are Turing Tested,and indistinguishable from human typing. |

It's not that they can not write drivers but the fact they "forget" about
the "old" hardware that some people are still using. Reminds me when IOMega ZIP drivers took over all removable media controls from floppy and CD drives, when installed.
