After having recently replaced a laptop hard drive (IDE) with a larger one,
Windows XP, sp3 keeps asking for a driver upon reboot for the new and larger
Western Digital hard drive. The machine works fine with the new drive,
recognizes the entire 120 GB drive (the old one having been about 40 GB), and
even Device Manager says the device is working properly. There does not seem
to be any hard drive drivers on Western Digital's web site for this 2.5",
120GB, IDE drive. TIA for any help on this one ...

I found this on another thread from a previous responder:

"Try this: Open RegEdit, Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\UIUCU
"c:\...\temp\uiucu.exe -clean_up"

Delete this key

EggHeadCafe - .NET Developer Portal of Choice
http://www.eggheadcafe.com "

and another responder said to reinstall the drivers from the manufacturer
including the chipset (and not to use WinUpdates for these hardware drivers).

So I will try these solutions first...

Tried these solutions, but the problem persists (i.e. unwanted Device Driver
Installation Wizard after installing larger Western Digital 120 GB IDE drive
in laptop). Any other options for this one ?

Thanks,

e.

Did you clean install win or use the cloning app from WD to copy the
installation?
If you clean installed did you then install drivers from your Laptop makers
site for your model?

Please note that some laptops require a hard drive with a special
firmware "code" in order for the laptop to using correctly.
