You do not have a valid set of drivers for your device under Windows 98.
Download the correct drivers from the manufacturer's Web site and they should automatically be detected and installed by pointing the wizard at the directory that they were extracted to. -- Richard G.

I'm assuming that the Promise is a card, rather than an on-board controller?
You cannot install Win9x systems onto a bare Promise controller, IIRC The drivers cannot be installed in the same way as they are for WinXP -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "inventor" wrote in message oups.com...

You need to EXTRACT the files from the ZIP file - and ensure that the inherent folder structure is preserved. I suspect that either you have not properly extracted the files, or not extracted them at all -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's |

Same for Win9x-Me and WinXP - there's nothing that could be more simple really. You don't need to click on any files at all, but when you are in the right mode - just point the wizard to the folder - and it will do the rest. and win98 dir in my win2000 dir is says ultra ultra ultra.sys so I have to click on all 3 or what when I put in the floppy at f6 and I dont think win2000 lets me lick on all 3 directries to find the file...? It's just a matter of knowing what to do with it that's all, and of course being sure you have the right drivers in the first place. in my win98 dir of the promise 100 card drivers I have They are the same files but just different versions of them for each OS. You ..don't even need to be concerned abut what files are in each folder at all, You only to be sure you have the right version drivers for the card, and you Only need to be concerned with at the prompts to point them to right folder representing what specific OS you are on at the moment - that's it ! ptistp.dll pu66vsd.vxd smartvsd.vd ultra ultra ultra.mpd I have to click on several to get to find the driver win is looking for does anyone know which one is fight to click on the first time? First of all what is the Exact model of your card? .....if.... it's the plain 100 (not tx2) this is the files you need for it; oh I see they don't have the pages up for the regular 100 anymore - it's g etting too old, but the old links that I had are still active and you can get to it he The latest 'Windows driver' for a 100 (not tx2) card needs to be v2.00.0.39 http://www.promise.com/support/downl...river&os= 100 The latest 'Bios Flash' for 100 (not tx2) card needs to be v2.20.0.14 http://www.promise.com/support/downl...=bios&os=10 0 Don't even think about flashing the bios though (even though it's easy) unless you know what you're doing. Yes the install for 2K/XP is a bit different than 9x, depending on which way you do it and at what timepoint in the OS install you are attempting it, but it's all pretty easy, however more information is needed of what you are doing - but in all cases first of all maybe rtfm pdf manual for the 100 - right click and save target on this link: http://www.promise.com/support/file/..._Manual_En.pdf That 100 card is way out of date btw, and depending on what you are doing, especially if you are using a large hard drive (even though the bios/drivers given will still work with it - it may be time to update to the ultra133) Rick (sorry just got home and have little time this week to read or post because at work having a full work load taking all my extra time ...goodnight thanks http://www.electricwindmillcar.com/ Greg's End War on Earth web page. http://www.inventor-warp-speed.com/ http://home.att.net/~inventor84/ inventor84 @ att.net inventor @ electricwindmillcar.com Reply |

Promise 100 drivers hard to install win98se
ultra.mpd
is the driver for 98 in 2000 there is no suffix on any of the ultra I did get the driver loaded once on f6 but got a ad virus my first hour on the web with 2000 looking for 2000 set up info and updates etc tried a few more times in next few months and never got the f6 to install the ultra file for 2000 so stuck with 98 until I can figure this out... I booted the 2000 cd more than 25 times last time I tried and never got past the f6 - did not find hard drive controller or something like this. So 1 more question where is the ultra.xxx suffix for 2000 I down loaded the drivers link above and its the exact same files I have? Rick could I rename the ultra in win 2000 ultra.mpd ? Do you run win 2000 or 98? or both ?
