hey scott...
are you sure about the installation of windows drivers, not affecting
the installation of linux. aren't there a number of cases where in order to install hardware on linux, you 1st need the windows drivers?
might it be possible that the article/advice the poster was following was with
regards to obtaining drivers for the sata controller/drive to be used under linux??
Anything is possible, but I actually did read the article, so that doesn't apply here. It was to get an AHCI driver for XP on a certain asus MB for speed reasons. I try to not talk out of my behind unless I happen to get into the bourbon first, but that is also not the case here. And needing to download a windows driver for some kind of emulation like ndiswrapper doesn't mean you need to install it in windows, or even have a copy of windows.
