Ide Channel Problem?

CarlPo · 05-08-2008, 07:08 PM

On one of my early builds I get this hardware install error at startup. (There was a problem installing this hardware ide channel An error occurred during the installation of the device. The driver is not intended for this platform). I also see 2 primary and 2 secondary ide channels in the Device Manager. All 4 have a yellow exclamation. This error started after I uninstalled the ide channels. I was trying to correct another problem. The M/B is an Asus P4P 800 Dlx. O/S is WinXp Pro. The CD-Rom and Dvd Burner I have on these channels both work. I have read that this occurs because of a DMA problem. Is this possible? If so, how can I fix it?

Thank You.

Although if it was installed correctly originally then it should reinstall after deleting.

Try reinstalling the Intel chipset drivers from the MB cd I believe it is a 865 chipset.

Tried that earlier today and got the same unwanted results.

I also wanted to mention that my SATA H/D shows up as a USB device in My Computer.

Thanks

This might be helpful. There's a section about a third of the way down the page that addresses the exact error message you are getting. Among other things it suggests renaming the atapi.sys file, I guess so that it will be re-created on the next boot:

DMA reverts to PIO | Windows Problem Solver

Great find! Unfortunately I won't be able to get to this computer till tomorrow. I will let you know how it works out.

Thanks.

If that fixes your problem than obviously the atapi.sys is corrupt.

I would also suggest looking at the device manager in safe mode to see what the ide chs look like and how many entries there are.
