sevensages Posted March 30, 2011 ID:407087 Share Posted March 30, 2011 so after getting a false positive scare today i wiped my computer not thinking to dig further into if it was a false positive im kicking my self now but thats not the point the point is after wiping the computer i go to install the drivers after putting windows xp sp2 onto the machine i grab the disc for the board and i open up the device manager to see whats there even though i know whats there well imagene my suprise to find there a new device labeled unknown iv never seen this device there before in all my years of having this machine and iv formatted it many a time so right click on it and tell it to find drivers from the computer and it finds the drivers for the device on my driver disc for the board it was called atk0110 acpi utilitydoes any one have any idea waht this actually is iv never seen it on my computer before and i dont know why im seeing it now i will point out that i did remove the ram and the boards battery when i wiped the machine clean but iv done that before and iv never seen this device show up before so any information on this device would be greatly apreciated and i know its probably safe because its on the asus boards cd which reminds me the board is a asus p5ld2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSnakeKobra Posted March 30, 2011 ID:407096 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The installation disc does not install the drivers. You'll need to install them through the driver disc or obtain them from the manufactures website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a fresh install of Windows some may register as an unknown device until you install the proper driver. Once you install the drivers it should disappear. Everything will be on your disc.
