Beware of Nvidia SW drivers

by **flash** on Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:25 am

OK. I've been beating myself up for too long on this one and I just wanted to share. I've been having numerous problems burning with my Pioneer A06. My system is an Asus A7N8X, XP2500, A06, Radeon 9000 Pro w/128MB etc.. The problem ended up being the f$%#ing Nvidia 3.13 "SW" drivers. I've gone through replacing RAM, rebuilding system up piece by piece, reinstall OS, reinstall OS etc..."BEWARE" of the "SW" drivers. After I uninstalled them and went to the "old" Asus IDE drivers , I can burn anything and fast. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest and hope this info helps someone else.

This is interesting, because I'm using these drivers. When I run ATI's TV program (part of their multimedia center) it warns me that my hard disks are not operating in DMA mode. I didn't know whether it was an ATI bug or an NVidia bug (though the NVidia site claims this is the first driver to support true DMA access from them, and lower CPU overhead). I haven't had problems with my Yamaha CRW-F1E CD burner with the drivers, but I wonder how the DVD burner I have on order will react to it.

Have seen a variety of reports of problems with burners with these, and with most all Nvidia IDE drivers. Ranging from very slow speeds to complete failure to burn discs at all. Plain vanilla MS IDE drivers seems to work very well on the Nforce boards.

nVidia drivers killed K-Probe for me. Generic MS drivers work great!

Yup... I always use MS' default IDE drivers. Uninstall the nVIDIA drivers and everything should be OK.

Welcome to CDRLabs.
Right click on "My Computer", go to Properties ->Hardware ->Device Manager.

Expand Nvidia IDE Controller, click on "Roll Back Driver".

thanks Bhairav, but have one more question, under the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" tab I have:
one "NVIDIA nForce4 Parallel ATA Controller" where optical drives are and
two "NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA Controller"s where HDD is under the one of them.
should I right-click on "NVIDIA nForce4 Parallel ATA Controller", then go to Properties / Driver / Roll Back Driver. would be this enough or should repeat this process for "NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA Controller"s too??

Nvidia SW-IDE-drivers are well known for problems, I know this for some years

@guest

Use the MS-Standard-driver for your IDE-controller, if SATA don´t make problems, u don´t need to change it

If you're not having issues with the HDDs installed on your SATA controller, do the rollback only for the Parallel ATA controller...

hi again, I've uninstalled nvidia IDE drivers from Control Panel \ Add/Remove Programs \ NVIDIA Drivers \ IDE Drivers and reboot the pc. now under the IDE/ATAPI Controllers Tab on Device Manager I have:

- 3 Primary IDE Channels
- 3 Secondary IDE Channels
- 3 Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controllers

and my SATAII hdd is under the Secondary IDE Channel tab. here are Nero Info Tool and Everest logs. is that normal??

P.S.: I remove my combo drive from the system

I've got an Athlon 64/3700+ running on a S754 nForce4 mobo with five DVD burners (4 IDE, 1 SATA), using the latest ForceWare drivers & have never had a problem.

Is this an issue with the older nF2/nF3 boards?

by **guest** on Mon Jul 17, 2006 4:47 pm

I've realized that my 4163B burns 8x DVD+-R's max. at 6x and the last thing I didn't try was using the MS IDE drivers and it worked. now could write 8x DVD+-R's at 8x, even Verbatim MCC 003's at 12x of course. but I'm confused after seeing 3 Primary, Secondary IDE Channels and Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controllers :roll:

I've tried to uninstall the PATA drivers only but it didn't worked, reinstalled after reboot so uninstalled nvidia IDE drivers and now my SATAII hdd is under the IDE tab :roll:

Not only with them. I don't believe SATA is an issue, but my one IDE drive still gets the "This device is not running in DMA mode" from ATI's TV software when I install it, and I have an nForce4 Ultra board.

It doesn't guarrantee problems, but using Forceware drivers for IDE channels is more likely to cause problems compared to Microsoft's native XP driver.

Hmm...DVDFab Decrypter gives me that error, too...but DMA is enabled, so I just ignore it. Everythings fast & works, so, for now I'm leaving it alone

I just hate how nVidia's newer SATA drivers show EVERY SATA device in the "Safely remove hardware" icon on the taskbar.

HELLO! nVidia!! I'm NOT going to be unplugging my internal hard drives anytime soon!

Same thing here, having AMD 64system with 3200+ processor and nforce3 M/B and ATI Video card all with nvidia IDE drivers and ATI Video driver the system running smooth and trouble free operation without and problem,. However, these rumors on nvidia IDE driver’s problem have been discussed in many forums for so long.

Beware of Nvidia SW drivers
