NVIDIA obviously has developed new nForce IDE drivers for Windows 7
Windows 7 has in-the-box nForce IDE drivers v10.6.0.3 dated 08/14/2008 and I think, that these drivers will work with Vista too. The associated NVRAID.INF file contains the HardwareID's of all nForce SATA and RAID Controllers from NF4 up (inclusive the Intel Edition ones). Maybe these drivers will even work for NF4 RAID users from scratch. X86 users, who want to test these new nForce IDE drivers v10.6.0.3, can get them here RapidShare: Easy Filehosting
or here Windows 7 32bit in-box nForce IDE drivers v10.6.0.3.zip.

I might try them anyway- my DVD burner is IDE (thank goodness, as I avoided all those problems many folks with nVidia chipsets and SATA DVD burners were experiencing when trying to install Vista....)
