I am looking for a Ubuntu Linux driver for a BYTECC BT-PSAPA IDE to SATA card

yes but you need IDE drive for the OS (windows or linux)
sata in PCI needs a driver comes from windows to operate

the drivers might be installed for this device
click start control panel administration tools computer management device manager scroll through all of your devices if you see a yellow question or exclamation mark ? ! or a red X you will need to update the drivers for this device right click select update driver/reinstall driver
if you can see your usb device but its not working sroll to Ports(Com&Ltd) right click to update driver if you computer came with a motherboard disk the drivers could be on it

or you might have to download one

hope this helps

if you physically remove this sata ide card restart your computer then reinstall it this should activate the found new hardware wizard

It has to have power. Look for a header on the motherboard that has the same number of pins as your connector does. Its fairly simple.

I can't seem to find a product with the model number "BT-PCI-SATA" that you provided, on the Bytecc web site. You should shut off and open the computer and read the model info directly from the the I/O card to determine the exact model card you've got.

Once you which card you have, you can download drivers directly from Bytecc. There appears to be very limited support listed for both Vista & Windows 7 OSes however. If nothing else, you'll be able to download the latest version of the driver - that may support Windows 7 - without specifically stating that it does.

If you're trying to install Win 7 to boot from a hard drive connected to this controller, it may work if you supply the expanded driver on USB, floppy, etc. when prompted for a SATA driver. Bytecc only offers an email address for tech support, so you might want to send them a detailed note about the problem at: [email protected]

Hopefully, this helped - good luck!

download the user manual at the manufacturers website

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps: Start > Run > type > regedit Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK. Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK. Quit Registry Editor.NOTE: After you remove the Upperfilters value and the Lowerfilters value, if you notice lost functionality in a particular program, such as CD recording software, you may need to reinstall that software. If the problem recurs, consult with the software vendor for assistance.

The full bytec adaptor comes with a power supply.

There are unscrupulous dealers out there that sell the kits in separate parts to bump up profits.

So did you try to install with and IDE dvd drive? Might be a BIOS issue, update bios or get a ide dvd drive somehow...

You can try looking in the manufacturer website to see if they have made a driver for Linux. Actually, most Linux distros have a nice set of drivers, but not all hardware out there have good Linux support.Surprisingly, Ubuntu 8.10 detected one CompUSA USB wireless adapter for which they don't have the XP drivers.

can you get a model spec? ubuntu is one of the faster developing linux flavors out, but since the driver has to be written based on demand instead of just having it to have it (like microsoft), things dont get done. you can try looking for a hardware compatibility list (HCL) for ubuntu and see if that model wireless card will work with your linux. if not, you might just have to wait until someone develops the drivers for it.

let me know if this helps.
