VGN-AR21S - Mass Storage Controller Driver for Vista Premium

I used the Sony disc from the express upgrade program to install Vista
premium, but did not use the recovery disc to re-install all apps because my
laptop was suffering a bsod on its compeletion. So I decided to run disk 1/3,
2/3 and then install 1 driver at a time to determine what is causing the BSOD
(so far audio driver is causing a problem, so I am using the 1 on the Vista
install).

I cannot find the driver for the mass storage controller. Does anybody know
what it should be, and where I can get it from.

See the driver download site at Sony for your specific machine - all drivers
available for Vista are listed there.
If any further are missing then contact Sony or post a message on Sony's
support forums at Club Vaio

It's the Texas Instruments PCI7411 Integrated Flashmedia controller
drive on mine, which is a sony vaio vgn-sz220.
Installed the xp version of this and the error went away.
