    Impact of changing my IDE ATA/ATAPI controller driver...


    I recently received a BSOD indicating that iastor.sys was the culprit. What impact would there be on changing to the default windows driver, replacing iastor.sys, on my Storage Spaces? I don't use the RAID function of iastor. System is configured as AHCI. The motherboard is an Asrock Z87M Pro, running a i7-4790 with 2x8GB DDR3 @3200. I'm concerned that the driver change my corrupt or delete the Storage Space. I currently have a single pool of 4 drives configured as parity. thanks for your input. Windows 10 Version 21H1 (build 19043.1110)

    :)

    Hi ibme,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that it can get difficult if the system are not working as expected.
    However, we can go ahead and try few steps to see if we can resolve this issue.

    Method 1: Check hidden devices in Device Manager.

    1. Press Windows Key +x
    2. Click Device Manager
    3. Go to Views tab and click on Show hidden devices from the drop-down menu.
    4. Then search for hidden drivers if any IDE ATA /ATAPI DRIVER
      are listed.
    5. Uninstall all the hidden drivers and reboot the PC, and check if that helps.

    I also suggest you to refer this article on
    Your CD or DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs
    , and check if that helps.

    If you need any additional assistance, please write back with the
    model number for dell computer?

    I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Regards,

  3. Accidentally uninstalled IDE ata/atapi controllers

    Hello,

    I accidentally uninstalled IDE ata/atapi controllers because CD/DVD drive didn't shown up in This PC not in the BIOS. Then I found an unplugged wire in CPU, that was the problem. I connected it. Now, there is no CD/DVD drive nor a IDE ata/atapi controller
    which are important to show up CD/DVD drive. What should I do. I made this PC (CUSTOM PC). Help needed!

    IDE ATA ATAPI controllers

    Hi Nate

    Changing/updating the IDE ATA ATAPI controller drivers will have no effect on your ability to access or even format a USB flash drive - that is not on a SATA channel

    What size is that USb flash drive?

    Open Disk Management (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

    Can you see the partition on that Flash drive?

    If so, right click that and choose 'Delete Volume'

    Then you should have an 'Unallocated space' on the Flash Drive

    Right click that and choose New - Simple volume

    If that does not also succeed, then most likely your Flash drive is bricked and will not be recoverable, sorry!
