IDE controller missing or corrupt?

Forum Storage : General Discussion IDE controller missing or corrupt?

hi, my computer buggered up a few days ago and i had to get a new graphics card, seemed to sort the problem out.

but i have noticed in the device manager, hardware bit there is something that has a yellow exclamation mark next to it called A8NGIBCI IDE CONTROLLER. it comes under SCSI and RAID controllers. when i double click on the IDE thing it says Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

i tried uninstalling it, but when i restart its back again in device manager with new name generated from letters and numbers, its now called AZDRSXXA IDE controller.

any ideas what this is and what to do?

You guys may well have found this solution already but for anyone else who comes looking.

It's a hangover from daemon tools or another virtual drive program you've used.

find the driver in Windows/system32/drivers
(If you find a suspicious driver google it and see what it is)

Mine was sptd.sys (I'd been using daemon tools lite)
On another forum I heard the driver name might start with st3

Delete it (in my case I renamed and moved it to make sure it worked but didn't screw anything else up)

disable and uninstall the problem device in device manager.
It won't come back when you restart. :D
