Hi Dragon, I don't think there is a need for drivers. Unless I am mistaken, the ability to utilize a drive's ATA burst speed lies in the motherboard or a PCI controller card....What mobo will this be on?

GA-7VRXP
it has support for ATA/133 but the motherboard also came with some ATA/133 drivers on a disk that it says to install. when i tried under winxp it said that the drivers were not signed and could cause system unstability.

Cool

You do not need that with XP if that board has VIA chipset and those are part of the 4in1 drivers. XP has driver support for VIA.
