Upgrade Concern
Hey,

I've run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor on my laptop and I don't know if it's anything major but there's something that concerns me;

It says that it cannot find any info for:
Intel 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller

Will it be ok if I continue with the upgrade regardless? Would I need to update the driver before hand? It could be just me being paranoid as I've read cases where the installation freezes due to Sata controller driver issues so I'm not sure what to do for best.

Can anyone reassure me on this?

That would depend what SATA drives you have. Safest bet would be to look for Vista drivers for said controller, copy them to CD THEN do the upgrade.
