I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium x64 and upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium x64. While Windows 7 Upgrade was collecting information just before loading the new system, it says:
These devices might not work properly after the upgrade. Before upgrading, we recommend updating the drivers for these devices. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel and search for "update device drivers", or go to the device manufacturer's website to search for updated drivers.
Storage controllers: AMO1YI57 IDE Controller
It recommends me to update its driver before installation, but the driver is already up-to-date.
What should I do?
Note: Motherboard is GBaByte P43-ES3G.
Answer
I will bet an honest Abe that it found a driver in your Vista 64 bit that isn't signed by "Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher", and the Windows 7 installer is complaining about it.
And in order to make sure everything works after the upgrade, it will warn you.
Wither or not it would be safe to continue, I don't know the exact answer. If you have data you want saved then I would make an image with it with some program like DriveXML or http://selfimage.excelcia.org/ ...otherwise if you can stand to lose whatever data you had on it, then try it anyways.
I am not saying blindly leap forth, but if you can't find a newer driver, then backup and try continuing anyways.
