Updating my Inspiron 6400 Chipset drivers ???
I'm having a bit of a problem.
I have just done a clean install of Vista on my Inspiron 6400. Problem is, ever time I think I have installed the chipset divers first properly. I then check the Device Manager list to see if they have stalled, but the IDE ATA drivers still shows as a Microsoft driver.
What do I need to do to replace the Microsoft drivers with the Intel drivers?

Cheers for the reply Davet50What is it that the Notebook system sftware and the Ricoh driver do??I have always installed the Chipset drivers first then Video, then all the rest on other systems in the past.The system software is a Dell driver to help set up the computer interface with the hardware.
The other i found when rebuilding a friends computer was necessary to help clear out some driver bangs. can't remember exactly what but I didn't think it was necessary either but it was

Hi againThis problem still persists.I did another clean install of Vista, then installed the Notebook System Software and then the Intel chipset drivers.When I check to see if they have installed in the Device Manager. The driver that is installed for ATA Channel0, ATAChannel 1 and Intel 82801 GBM/GHM ( ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA storage Controller-27C4, are still using the Microsoft 21/06/2006, Driver Version 6.0.6000.16391Any more ideas to why the drivers are not installing properly??zombieeters

Yeah. They are the ones form the Dell web site. Version 8.1.1.1010, A01 and they're dated at 22/01/2007 so they should be all right.zombieeters

Any other ideas how I can get these Chipset drivers to install?
Is there any other newer drivers form other notebook models that would do?

try downloading and installing the Ricoh driver too.
But before you do that download and install the Notebook system software.
