Re: How to uninstall VIA bus master IDE controller



Got it figured out. Had to pick update driver (from the device manager
entry), then install from specific location, then don't search and the MS
drivers appeared in a list with the VIA 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.
