Yeah that was my first guess but then when I did a search online it was mentioned with lots of stuff so now I havent a clue as to what it really is. Have you heard it mentioned specifically in regards to the nvidia graphics card driver?

It seems to be a component of the nForce chip on your mainboard; specifically one that controlls the IDE port. I would reinstall the correct chipset drivers from nvidia. Jon

The interesting thing here is I MOVED my hard disk with WIN XP which was used on a nforce2 board. So that seems to imply I still have the drivers right? The thing there is I UNINSTALLED all the old drivers and reinstalled the old VIA stuff so that it would work with it. It could be that its all screwed up and not everything was uninstalled. correctly. Frankly Ive got to do a new reinstall anyway when my new AMD 64 system gets up and running and I use this same HD on THAT system ! I dont want to take a chance of just plopping it into 3 different systems and have it all messed up. |
