Re: How to uninstall VIA bus master IDE controller



Yes, that's what I meant when I said control panel. After selecting
uninstall driver and the uninstall finishes, it reboots then XP detects the
"new" hardware and reinstalls the VIA driver. That's why I wondered if I
deleted the VIA drivers before rebooting, if XP would be forced to use the
MS supplied drivers.

Lee, have you tried uninstalling the Via Busmaster controllers from
Device manager?

I'm getting ready to swap motherboards and want to revert to the
Microsoft standard IDE controller. I cannot seem to uninstall the VIA
busmaster driver. If I try to uninstall from the Control Panel, when the
machine reboots it goes out and finds it again and reinstalls it. It
won't let me roll back the driver because there's nothing to roll back
to. Can I just delete all the VIA files from the \system32\drivers
folder? Will that force XP to use the standard MS driver?

Btw, I have tried to install the VIA driver with the VIA setup program
and then select uninstall from the option menu but that didn't work
either.

Thanks for the help.
