FixIDE Portable

FixIDE is a utility to force install standard IDE controller drivers on a foreign Windows XP installation. It saves you from a repair-install of Windows after a motherboard swap. When you swap motherboards, sometimes the system blue screens an error while trying to load Windows on your new hardware. This is due to not having the right IDE controller drivers for the new motherboard. Attach the hard drive to a known good system that loads Windows, run FixIDE.exe from wherever you put it, on the CD or your flash drive, and click BROWSE to choose the Windows folder of the system partition you wish to fix.
