I found that even if you download and install your motherboard drivers after
installing Vista, they don't replace the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Extract
the drivers to a folder, open the control panel, expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI
controllers. Start from the last controller on the list, right click and
choose "Update Driver Software...", then "Browse my computer for driver
software". On this window choose "Let me pick from a list..." then Have disk
if the driver is not list and browse to where you extracted the drivers. I
have an Nforce 4 board and had to install the drivers for the last 3 in the
list (don't reboot until you update all 3 drivers) when Windows starts back
up it will reinstall your hard drives and CD/DVD drives and will need to
reboot one more time. Done!
