Nvidia has silently uploaded a new build package of the unified nForce 1/2 driver package onto their servers. This update comes right after the last official release 2.41, see previous story here. Although we have no nForce solution available at Warp2Search, we suspect that Nvidia reacted to users reporting on errors with the included IDE miniport driver 3.40 (Full) which was included in the 2.41 package. According to information beeing presented to Warp2Search, the IDE miniport driver 3.40 (Full) has fixed various issues. However we also received a number of reports that stated that the driver in question was causing blue-screens in Windows XP in ntfs.sys and that it caused problems with proper recognition of original software CD's. This recognition problem resulted in a failure verifying the disk as an original. Please do not take this assumption of why the 2.42 package was released for golden. It is just that, an assumption. Update: Nvidia completely removed the nForce IDE driver in the 2.42 kit.
