The driver seems to install forever and after too many minutes it fails. For the IDE/SATA card I tried many JMicron JMX36X drivers, including the official latest ones from their site. I didn't manage to make an old TV Tuner (BT878 chipset) work with custom 64-bit drivers (it was working fine in Windows 7 64-bit, see my other post) and the IDE card. Intel, Realtek, nVidia etc.) for Windows 8/8.1 to make sure all my devices work at their full potential and all features as in Windows 7. No problem, I updated the drivers to latest OEM versions (e.g. After the upgrade I realized that most hardware had now Microsoft drivers while some devices (including the IDE card) were not installed. To avoid all the hassle of another backup and clean installation, I cheated by doing an upgrade first to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and then to Windows 8.1 Pro to have the newest version. Recently I decided to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro. All hardware including the IDE card worked as expected, not issue so far. Before the upgrade I had Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, but since now the RAM was increased to 8GB, I made a backup of my data and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I had two old IDE/ATAPI DVD-RW drives that I wanted to keep alongside my new SATA BD-R drive, so I also bought an IDE/SATA PCI-E card. The M/B has the new Intel 1155 socket that doesn't natively support IDE devices. In August 2012 I upgraded my PC from Pentium 4 to Asus P8H61 M/B, Core-i3 CPU and 8GB DDR3 RAM.
