Hello,

In the device manager under "Storage controllers" I have a strange entry marked with exclamation. I don't remember having any items marked with exclamation in the device manager before. Right now it says "AKTGJNNI IDE Controller", when I go to Properties to see driver details, it says "No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device." When I uninstall this controller and hit "Scan for hardware changes" it appears again, although the name may be different, but still meaningless letters.
I had Daemon Tools installed previously and had some error during uninstall, so I thought this could be a result of that error, and something may not have uninstalled correctly. That's just my guess though.

I'd appreciate any help on how to get rid of this invalid entry.

Thanks.

What are your system specs?
Have you installed the MB drivers?

I'm using the ASUS F8Va laptop and all the latest drivers for it from the ASUS website, except modded ATI drivers.

Yes, I'm sure about the spelling, I've failed to find anything on it myself. That's why I posted here.

Oh, and here is another user having the very same problem:

Only device name is "different", but essentially it's the same eight random letters.
