Are you finding that list off your MBoard CD? If so, you might be better off going to the MBoard site and downloading the latest drivers. They may have been updated.

What is the exact brand and model, including version, of your MBoard? Version is printed on the MBoard itself. It may or may not make a difference on the download.

Yes, those drivers are off the ECS Extreme Setup CD. My MBoard is a Elite Group KN1, MPS Version 1.40. Ive tried looking for the SATA drivers for my board but cant seem to find them.

Something is not right here. The model number you give is for a nvidia chipset MBoard yet the drivers you listed in your first post are for a VIA chipset.

Download SIW.exe and see what SIW states you have. Find it below. Download the standalone version.

How about installing something like drivers max to collect your drivers. Then load the folder into nlite.
That is, if you have an up & running system.

Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Is your CD a multi Motherboard CD? I am looking at the SIS and VIA folders. At any rate below is a link to ECS computers the manufacturer. I couldn't find a reference to the Exact model you posted originally.

It appears you have two RAID controllers on that MBOard. Nvidia for IDE ATA drives and SIS for SATA drives. Your original link showed listings for VIA chipset drivers. If the VIA stuff is on the CD that came with the MBoard I don't understand why. Maybe you pulled out the wrong CD?

Use the SIS 180 SATA controller drivers for WinXP. If the drivers are in .exe format you need to unpack them to a temp folder and use the unpacked files.
