| | ATA/ATAPI: IDE Channel and ATA Channel Hello, I have a laptop which was pre-installed with Vista Business 32-bit. At that time, the IDE ATA/ATAPI controlls in the device manager showed the driver for the channels as two ATA Channel 0 and two ATA Channel 1. I have now reinstalled with Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Now these channels instead are shown only as four IDE Channels. The drivers are currently standard Microsoft drivers, and I'm pretty sure they also were that before. I have installed all Intels drivers for the different controllers, but that had no impact on the channels drivers. I have also tried the built in auto-update for the drivers on the channels, but Windows say that are correct and up-to-date. As it would appear, both the current drivers and the previous listed as ATA-channels both came from ATAPI.sys. I can't figure out if this would have any impact on stability or performance for the channels? Is there anyone that can confirm that these drivers are OK, or should it rather be the "ATA Channel" instead? Thanks for any help! |
