nForce IDE drivers v10.6.0.16 for Vista/Win7

[trax]

That's strange! Usually you should only run the "Emergency CD" 2 times (at the beginning and at the first reboot).
What happened at second reboot?
If you should not be able to solve the problem, you may try to "update" the in-box nForce drivers. At first step I would run the installer of my 32bit Vista "NF4-7 SATA Performance Pack" (should be done with Vista compatibility mode) by just choosing the "MediaShield"/"Storage Drivers" install options. This way you might get the modded nForce IDE drivers v9.99.09 installed. After the update, but before you reboot, you should check, if all NVIDIA related devices - even the hidden ones - really have taken the 9.99.09 drivers.

32bit Vista "NF4-7 SATA Performance Pack" doesn't work unique difference recovery-startup+patchboot to the first reboot.
in all the cases W7 restart automatically later after the new bootscreen(simbol just appears)

Here's how i managed to install on my DFI NF4 SLI. I worked both on x86 and x64.

When you are prompted, load the WHQL 998 drivers, from the SATAIDE map ONLY.

You then should have a working install, with 10.6.0.3 as raid drivers and 998 as sataide drivers.

However, i'm having some stability issues, when trying to install a game from DVD. i'm getting BSOD's .

Solution is probably to upgrade both (raid and ide) to 999.09.
Hope this helps.

This is an interesting test result.
Thanks for your report!

Fernando, I have zipped the 32-bit drivers from my fresh Windows 7 7048 build today. I don't have an account (rapidshare, mediafire) to post them... Where can i send them if you still want them?

You don't need an account. Just go to http://www.rapidshare.com and upload the zipped drivers. Then copy the link and post it here. That's all.
Other possibiity: Send me an eMail (fernando.uno@gmail.com) and attach the zipped file.

10.6.0.8 won't install for me on vista x64

"Driver is not intended for this platform"

does it need a modified inf?

edit, just noticed the properties on nvstor.sys are blank.

How did you try to get the driver installed? It will not work from scratch, because the CAT file is missing (no WHQL certification).
