FixIDE is a utility to force-install standard IDE controller drivers on a foreign Windows XP installation.
When you swap motherboards, sometimes the system blue screens while trying to load Windows on your new hardware. This is due to not having the right IDE controller drivers for the new motherboard. Unfortunately, Windows isn't smart enough to catch this issue and load it's standard drivers (if they were never installed on the system to begin with.)
Most people are ready to repair-install Windows.! That's where FixIDE comes in.
FixIDE is only designed to fix WINDOWS XP, any version. FixIDE was designed to run on Windows XP or Windows PE 1.0, but should be able to run from any version of Windows with sufficient security permissions to query and edit a Windows NT based registry, has NTFS write permission and capability (assuming the WinXP install you are fixing is on NTFS,) and requires REGEDIT.EXE to be in the path for importing of the .REG files.
