There is no official Window 7 driver for the Promise Technology Ultra 133 TX2, but you can use the Vista driver. It should also work for both the Ultra 66 and the Ultra 100 cards.
I found the Vista driver at:
http://www.promise.com/single_page_session/page.aspx?region=en-US&m=722&sub_m=sub_m_9&rsn=144
The file name is: Ultra133 TX2 windows 2.1.0.3 logo driver.rar
This file is compressed in the rar format. I decompressed it using 7-Zip. Folder amd64 contains the 64 bit driver. The amd64 driver worked even though my mother board has an Intel CPU and chip set.
if u cant locate the drivers name, try using unix base(linux) live cd's, like knoppix for example, they usally detect all the drivers u have in minutes and even gives u all the names and serial numbers, then u can download them.
The drivers for this ATA Controller Card are resident in Windows, just like the Motherboard's onboard ATA/IDE Controller. If they don't autodetect and load make sure you are running at least Service Pack 2 for Windows XP and SP4 for Win 2000. Vista and later will have resident drivers.
You can plug it in and see if Vista can use any of its drivers for it. In many cases it has drivers for the chipset on the card which will work perfectly well with the device.
Sounds like the system is trying to boot from the drives attached to the controller. Go into your setup and make sure the system is set to boot from the proper drive.

hope this helps pls appreciate by rating as fixyaa
I am running a Armada M700 with a Hitachi HTS541060G9AT00 60GB Hard Drive - Ultra ATA-100, 5400 RPM, 8MB. The driver that is loaded in mine is on both primary and secondary is atapi.sys. This driver is also installed on the Intel 82371AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller, along with intelide.sys. The main difference is I am running Window XP Pro SP2. But I believe that they should use the same driver.
Hope this helps.
