Adaptec 29160 driver NOT installed - HOW?
Have installed the win7 beta x64. It is installed on an SATA drive. I have the above controller card controlling other devices that I need. Device mgr shows the drivers for the card NOT installed. When I go to the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder I only see an adaptec ultrawide 320 card listed NOT an ultrawide 160. I took the driver that IS working in Vista x64 and copied it over to the above folder in win7. Rebooted. Still does NOT see the driver or card. I tried the drivermax program someone mentioned. After it does its search I tried to select the adaptec driver from the list but when checking the box I get an error msg about it can't be found, as it has a -1 yet I KNOW its there as I previously copied it. Adaptec has NO plans to make a driver for this card. ANY way to make this work?????? I need this card to be recognized. THANKS for any suggestions..
