BleepingComputer.com: I Need Help Installing A Pci Card

Hello, I bought this item:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...y0%3D%26fvi%3D1


I put it into my pci card slot on the mother board then i started up the computer.

it says new hardware found

PCI Device

then the New hardware wizard pops up and says

Can windows connect to windows update to search for software?

I said yes

Then it asks if my hardware came with a cd it only came with a windows 98 driver disk, so I poped it in just incase and choose the install software automatically [recommended]


then windows updates searched for a driver and said the hardware was not install because the wizard cannot find the necessary software. Thats were im at.

Can you help?

Didn't it come with the installation CD?

flash to non raid base bios and run atapi drives

I cant find the right one.
every time i try one it says
the hadware was not installed because the wizard could not find the necessary drivers

I have no clue what "flash to non raid base bios and run atapi drives" means

I have windows XP Pro sp2

can someone please help me find the direct link to the file i need to download and how to install it.
and any thing else i need to do?

thanks

it's very complicated, you need to have the right bios on the card and a matching driver depending upon how you will use the card

what bios shows for the card when the computer boots?

how do i find out what bios it has when it boots?

I'm going to be using it to ghost drives

you might be able to catch it during post with a pause break key stroke
