Good morning all,
I'm really hoping someone can help before I go crazy. Recently my Sony Vaio VGN-T1XP hard drive failed, a new one was purchased and I re-installed my OS - Vista 32-bit Home Premium, which went well. However, in my Device Manager I have two items that are not recognised by the system. Firstly, the Mass Storage Controller, the properties state location=PCI Bus 2, device 4, fucntion 3, device type=unknown and manufacturer=unknown. Secondly I have another Unknown Device, properties location= on Intel(R) 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller.
I've searched and searched and found drivers that say they will fix this issue but nothing has helped so far.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue and can share their knowledge?
Best regards in advance.
Martin

Hi Blencogo, it states under your Avatar that you are an expert, and you certainly are. All issues fixed and a big thanks to you. I managed to fix the Unknown Device following another chaps advice (can't remember his forum ID) and then downloaded the XP Original Drivers and fixed the Mass Storage Device, which seemed to be an issue with Texas Instruments.
So, many many thanks, you've saved the Vaio from being microwaved.
Thanks again and have a good weekend.
Martin
