nope not that problem i mean the moment i insteall these drivers windows takes a crap plunge but all is fine until then.

good news is it seems i don't need them at all oh well.
 
That's right, you don't need them at all. Just because they're theoretically 'better; doesn't necessarily mean they are.

On my Nforce2 board, I can't tell the difference with them installed or not. Actually, I tihnk Windows is slightly more resposnive without them, though I haven't properly tested that.
 
It's a well known documented issue of NVidia's IDE drivers. It just doesn't work. In fact, Intel's and Microsoft's IDE drivers (default) are much more superior in terms of stability and speed.

their IDE drivers have sucked for quite a long time, why havent they bothered to fix them?
 
doesn't even seem like a driver to me, seems like a windows breaker.
