Forgive me if I've left anything out. I've been beating on this for days before stumbling in here. System: Gigabyte 785NB 710SB based MB, AMD 9750 CPU 2 - SATA WD HDD configured as RAID 1 (SATA ports 0 and 1) GPT/MBR last session attached. default RAID drivers selected for uninstall but CMD PCI IDE driver and in fact all of the IDE drivers were left alone. AMD64 folder verified as containing cmdide.sy_ I've copied the file and changed to cmdide.cab and successfully unpacked it so the file is indeed valid and intact. In spite of this three attempts have failed with the installation ending with CMDIDE.SYS not found. cmdide.sys is even added in the Keep File list. I figured I'd ask before burning anymore bad dvds. I'm guessing that a file path is incorrect somewhere... and if it's incorrect for one driver this is possibly just the tip of the iceberg. no clue where to look. Any help please? Last Session.ini
