After you boot with your graphics card installed, what exactly happens when
you access the ATI driver from whatever source contains the driver (CD,
floppy disk, file) and you attempt to install the driver. Do you receive
some sort of "unable to locate" error message?

1. The first thing to check (and recheck!) is that your graphics card is
properly seated in the PCI slot. I assume you've uninstalled it and then
reinstalled it but the problem still remains.
2. Try another PCI slot should one be available.
3. Were you using onboard graphics prior to the new graphics card? In
nearly
every case installing a graphics card will override the BIOS video
setting
so that the user need not make any changes in the BIOS, but every once in
a
while we find that it *is* necessary for a user to change the BIOS
setting
so that onboard video has been disabled.
4. The interface is PCI, not AGP, right?

I have tried both PCI slots and neither detect the card. However they can
detect my Geforce 6200 card. As far as I am aware I cannot disable the
onboard graphics card, however it did not affect my Geforce card.

What hardware version of PCI does your PC support?
Are you currently using onboard/integrated to motherboard graphics?

Jonny,
1) I don't know what version of PCI my PC supports, how do I find out?
2) I am currently using a Geforce 6200 graphics card.
Also how do I determine which version of Bios I'm using?
As there is are some common misunderstanding I will elaborate on my
problem.
My computer cannot detect the Radeon graphics card, therefore I cannot
install any drivers because as far as my computer is concerned I don't
have
any hardware that can use them. Also my computer switches to a basic
inbuilt
graphics card if it does not detect any other graphics card, so I was able
to
check on the Device Manager to see that the Radeon card is not being
detected.
