Where to find viaide.sys

I've had a bit of traffic to my post about upgrading to WinXP from Win2k, in particular from people searching Google for viaide.sys.

There don't seem to be any simple explanations for people as to where to find it. If you are upgrading from Windows 2000 and your motherboard is a Via-based chipset, there's a very good chance that you will find viaide.sys on your hard drive.

When the install prompts you for the location of viaide.sys, point it towards C:\WINNT\system32\drivers. With any luck, it should be sitting there and if your install is anything like mine was, everything should work fine from there.

Hope this helps someone. Please let me know if it does.
