Last night was not my usual evening benchmarking.\u00a0 I had just finished up testing ten configurations of CrossFire-X for this weekend’s review and I switched over to my Nvidia hard drive for testing 9800GT for a later “Big GPU shootout, Revisited” that I am working on.\u00a0 Of course, I uninstalled the old GeForce driver and updated to 185.85 WHQL and rebooted.<\/p>\n

Well, I “lost” my SATA drive in BIOS and then switched to the ATi hard drive while still using my 9800GT.\u00a0 In every other case, one gets a message, “ATi Driver not found, Catalyst Control Center will exit” – except this time.<\/em><\/p>\n

The screen shots tell the story.\u00a0 This is the strange welcome screen that greeted me:<\/p>\n

\"ccc_gf_welcome3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And now some information you will never see in Catalyst Control Center:<\/p>\n

\"ccc_gf_info_fin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wait there’s more!\u00a0 Display properties:<\/p>\n

\"ccc_gf_display_fin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The good news is that the 9800GT drivers were never “really” installed and things are back to normal on both partitions.\u00a0 I just thought you’d like to share a little trip with us into the ABT Twilight Zone.<\/p>\n
