Adaptec SCSI Drivers (29160) Availability for Windows 7?

Attempting to "clean" install Windows 7 on SCSI Hard Disks, via Adaptec 29160 controller.
The install doesn't 'see' the SCSI controller.
I'm assuming its a driver issue.
The installation cannot proceed.
Can the Vista Driver be used? Or do I need a Windows 7 specific SCSI driver?
If the Vista SCSI driver can be used how does one use the Vista driver with a "Clean" install?
Thanks in advance...

you will find the list of supported parallel scsi cards is very short. I was running an AHA 2940U2W which has served very well for may years only to find no support under Windows 7 and no plans for support in the future, which seems to be the case for almost anything that isn't current. I tried the Vista driver, but that refused to install (Windows actually blocked it), so I have had to upgrade to the only card that supports standard 50pin SCSI2 and 68pin Ultra modes, the ASC29320A-R. Unfortunately, this may be the route you have to take to get things working, but be wary. I have a couple of old CD-ROM drives including a quad speed Toshiba tray loader that I find can read damaged discs that modern fast drives reject. Unfortunately, these old drives are not supported by Windows 7 and cause the SCSI bus to keep resetting virtually stalling the machine when disc access is required. Disabling the drives in device manager helps most of the time, but now and again the bus will go into the reset loop and the only way out is to reboot. So, I'm going am having to replace them with something more modern and put together a second machine using the old hardware for recovering damaged discs. I am deeply unimpressed with the hardware support in modern versions of Windows. Right up to XP virtually any hardware could be used. Now it seems it has to be the most recent or it won't work.

  • When will Bootcamp drivers be available for Windows 8?

    I am unable to load Win8 using Bootcamp. The forums say drivers are currently not available for Bootcamp from Apple? Does anyone know when the drivers will be available?

    Instead, you can install Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Also, see if it's better for you Boot Camp or a virtual machine > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321

  • HP G62 -Windows 10 "this version of Windows not available for Windows 10 app"

    I'm trying to schedule the Windows 10 upgrade and receive the message "this version of Windows not available for Windows 10 app". I have Win7 SP3, enough memory, everything else it says it requires. the only thing I can't verify is the graphics driver. What might the problem be?

    I am using a HP G62a50sg ( APU ATI HD4250 Mobility and ATI HD 5470 Mobility ) . The Windows 10 Update showed that there were no compatabilty problems and I did the upgrade. Everything works fine only the graphics are the problem. I have installed Windows 10 64 bit (Clean) around 5 times and tried all the drivers starting from Windows 7 , Windows 8 ,orginal Notbook drivers von HP and also from AMD ( CC 15.7 Mobility) . Nothing seems to work. Windows 10 reconizes the graphics but doesn`t support the switchable graphic funktion. I think it is an issue with the APU HD4250 Mobility and the Chipset. The desktop has only the 1024 X 768 option and in the graphics manager ( desktop) shows the Graphics as Basic Microsoft Display Driver. I am still trying but I am running out of ideas.

    Hi @balubeto 
    I located a software removal utility for you but if you have other HP printers or scanners you may perform the more basica uninstall.

    Hi,

    All editions of Windows Server 2008 R2 are 64-bit only.
    Reference link below(session Supported upgrade paths):

    And based on MS official description about system requirement for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, we may find out that they only has 64 bit OS.

    We currently have a windows environment at work and use 802.1x authentication and have some 1st generation apple TVs. We would like to get them on our wireless but are having issues. I would like to push profiles to these apple TVs to see if I can get them on but I am not going to buy a Mac to do it.

  • Grid Control only 32-bit available for Windows

    Couple of questions I was hoping to get some help with. Client is a windows only shop. We're installing Windows 2008 R1 64-bit, but Grid Control is only available with 32-bit for Windows. This will definitely cause issues, is the only around it to either load 32-bit, or is there any other option. And when will 64-bit be available for Windows? Thanks in advance.

    Grid Control itself is a 32 bit application . It installs and works furpectly well on 64 bit Windows. I doubt we will ever see a 64-bit version of GC in the 10g series ... perhaps when they swap out OC4J with WLS and rebrand it as 11g they might put in a 64-bit version, but quite honestly there is little need for the 64-bit capability in the middle tier.
    However, the database part can, and should, be swapped out for a 64-bit database. Which is supported in the install method.
    I STRONGLY ENcourage the following sequence:
    1) Install 11gR1 database 64 bit, preferably patched to 11.1.0.7
    2) Install Grid Control 10.2.0.2.1 (note the .1) for Windows using the 'into an existing database' option
    3) Upgrade Grid Control to 10.2.0.5 (but that MAY require the 11.1.0.7 patch - check the README)
    I STRONGLY DIScourage using the 'create with new database' as it will take a whole lot longer, requires upgrading and/or patching the database anyway, and potentially leaves you with an obsolete DB to contend with in the long run.
    I also encourage skipping 10.2.0.4 if possible - it's more than a ruddy pain to patch to that one. I generally plan on 5-6 hours if I am forced to install a 10.2.0.4 GC from scratch, whereas the process I list above takes just over 2 hours to get to a 10.2.0.5

    No, it fixes explorer.exe (File Explorer) crashing, it has nothing at all

    When is Firefox Mobile going to be available for windows phone?

    May be there is no possibilities in near future to implement Firefox for windows phone. There are some technical and legal issue for deploying Firefox on windows phone. Moreover Mozilla is spending more energy on it's own mobile operating system which is Firefox OS.

  • Why skype is not available for windows phone 7.8 e...

    Hi Team,
    Why skype is not available for windows phone 7.8, earlier it was there in wp 7.8 market place... Please bring it back for WP 7.8

    Yet more shoddy treatment of those who bought in to win phone 7. Makes me feel foolish for recommending windows phone to friends and colleagues. "We want everyone to experience the best Skype has to offer" and your way of doing this is to take it away!
    My next phone is unlikely to be a win phone 8, and I'll look at alternatives to skype.
