7412.0. "Venturis 575 updated W95 CMD drivers" by SNOFS1::16.153.96.192::powellronald (Australia!) Mon Apr 14 1997 02:47

Customers has loaded W95 on a Venturis 575. He is getting the 
yellow exclamation mark next to the primary and secondary hard disk 
controllers (but not the master) and a message telling him that the 
controllers are running in compaibility mode.  Is there an updated 
32 bit driver for the CMD controller for W95.

 Disk line up is
 1 x Digital 400 Mb hard disk ( original fit)
 1 x Seagate 1.2 Gb hard disk.

    I ran into a similar problem during a W95 upgrade.  There are
    some known problems in the upgrade which fool W95 into thinking
    it must run the IDE controllers in compatibility mode.  Microsoft
    suggested removing the NOIDE entry from the registry key
    
    	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\VXD\IOS
    
    Removing the key and rebooting fixed the problem on my system.
