Abit KN9 Ultra(AM2)DRIVERS!!!!

[musicman53]

Hi,
changed from an AN8 Ultra to a KN9 Ultra 570 board, reformatted the hard drive, used same graphics card and HDs as before.
Installed windows XP Pro, no probs, put the install cd in, it auto ran, said detecting device and then gave this error.
Failed to fix security!.
Then when I selected chipset drivers it screwed up!.
When I looked for the drivers on the cd the only ones there are for the 590 SLI and not for the KN9 Ultra.
Contacted ABIT(UK)only to be told that the setup WOULD direct me to the right drivers on the cd.
Not a hope as the right drivers are not even on the CD.
I know I can download from Nvidia but I still like to have the original install cd.
Abits answer......sorry we cannot provide you with a different/another CD.

All the drivers are avaliable from the abit website.

The drivers for the ultra and SLI version are the same.

Fair comment BUT the drivers for the KN9 Ultra and KN9 SLI 570 being the same is not the issue.
The issue is that the install cd does NOT contain ANY KN9 Ultra 570/KN9 570SLI drivers at all.
It only contains the SLI 590 drivers.
I have looked on five NV940-1.02M cds and there are no KN9 Ultra drivers at all on them.

They must of put the wrong CD in the box when it was packed.

From what I was told by someone at Abit uk, All the KN9 boards ship with the same cd.
It's not the first time I have had Abit boards in the past that have had wron install cds.

Is it the wrong CD or a miss labled CD?

"
Fair comment but the Nvidia (chipset)drivers on this cd are not for the KN9
Ultra at all.
On the download page on ABIT website it shows v.9.15 drivers for Windows XP,
on Nvidia it shows v.9.16, on this CD the drivers path is
\Drivers\Chipset\MCP55\32
and it says this, This WinXP nForce (Tritium) driver package consists of the
following components:

Ethernet Driver (v60.15) "WHQL"
Network Management Tools (v60.18)
SMBus Driver (v4.52) "WHQL"
Installer (v5.10)
WinXP IDE SataRAID Driver (v6.67) "WHQL"
WinXP IDE SataIDE Driver (v6.67) "WHQL"
WinXP RAIDTOOL Application (v6.73)
-----------------------------------------------------"
Those are not for the KN9 Ultra at all but are for the whatever SLI 590.
nForce 590 SLI - Windows XP (drivers v.9.35)
--------------------------------------------------------------
These are the drivers for the KN9 Ultra 570/570 SLI/550
Ethernet Driver (v55.21) "WHQL"
Network Management Tools (v55.23)
SMBus Driver (v4.52) "WHQL"
Installer (v5.05)
Win2K IDE SataRAID Driver (v6.66) "WHQL"
Win2K IDE SataIDE Driver (v6.66) "WHQL"
Win2K RAIDTOOL Application (v6.63
nForce 570/570SLI/550
v.9.16
-------------------------------------------------------
This is what they told me:

"All KN9 series shares the same driver CD."

Technical Dept.
UNIVERSAL ABIT U.K. Company Ltd.
-------------------------------------------------------------
There are no KN9 Ultra 570/570SLI/550 drivers anywhere on the cd.
Only ones on it are for the whatever it's called 590 SLI.

It seems you have a cd for the AN9 series motherboard. It must have been mispacked in the factory. All I can do is apologize for the mix up, sometimes mistakes can happen when you are dealing with large quantities.

Would seem so seeing that the utils for the AN9 are on the cd like uGuru and others.
Would be nice to have the right CD tho.
