Searching for Manufacturer name of Motherboard

I am having the hardest time finding the manufacturer of this motherboard on an 8400 series Dell Dimension motherboard. This P.C. is driving me nuts and has been for the past week but I think I have finally figured out the solution to the problem. I believe it has to do with downloading the manual to the motherboard then obtaining the Sata drivers so that I am able to run the setup to make it think that the drive is in a RAID array or something. Well Sounded easy enough cept 3 days later I still cant find any info on the mother board or a way to find the drivers. PLEASE HELP!! I really need to get this maching up and running soon. I do know that the chip set number is E210822. I didnt think that was the actual name of the mother board though. Usually I'm better at finding these things but without being able to turn the maching on I cant scan it either.

 

Here is the download page for your Dell:
Dell Dimension 8400

All the drivers for it is there. It's always a good idea to install your chipset prior to any others.

 

Not sure how or what the BIOS says for the 8400 since I don't have one but it should be able to handle it. And forget about finding the maker of the board. Dell uses mainly a striped version of a Intel board...very stripped and limited! But if you ever do a reinstall make sure you go in this order:
(1) Dell Desktop system software
(2) Chipset
(3) Video
(4) Sound
(5) Modem
and then whatever drivers you have left or need.
I tried to search Dell's Fourm for you about your setup but the search is down but here's a link saying you can.
