As stated above, the reason to use fakeraid is most likely, that you want to dual boot with another OS e.g. The following should help to avoid many of the pitfalls one may encounter, while setting up such a configuration. This was tested on a Z78-Mainboard (Gigabyte Z87-HD3) and therefor should work at least with any other Z78 Mainboard. Partitioning and formatting with ubiquity installer didn’t work for me. I had to do it before launching the ubiquity installer.

• There have also been times when Microsoft actually had a much newer driver than the manufacturer had available on a few devices I’ve had in the past.
• Per this post, I tried the Webcam Pro 9000 download.
• Windows XP support is ending as part of Microsoft’s standard software lifecycle, and Microsoft has stepped up its warnings over the past year.

Choose Search automatically for updated driver software. This tool uses the Microsoft database to install the proper driver for that hardware. This is not a ‘hack’, but a legitimate way to update system drivers. Usually, Windows Update catches them, but not always. Many drivers are integrated with software that automatically installs them, making the below instructions unnecessary.

Vital Factors For Device Manager – The Inside Track

The challenge in fully removing a Windows desktop application lies in finding the right balance. Many Windows files and Registry settings are shared by more than one program. The trick is to remove any leftover files and settings for the program you’re uninstalling without disabling another program that may still rely on those items.

You don’t want them to think that you mean they should release a driver which is available without paying for it (which wouldn’t really make sense anyway given companies don’t charge for this). Ralink has not released the firmware for it’s 802.11N chipset. It probably does have open source drivers though. Most users will not succeed and give up after a few hours of trying. I have a GSky GS-27USB “high power” uses realtek drivers.

Lastly, I just want to say to make sure you’re installing the correct drivers for your specific hardware. Also, a BIOS update is NOT needed unless you’re having serious problems with your PC and suspect it’s a BIOS problem, in which case you should install using a USB and NOT from software.
