this is a hunch....
go to the device manager and DELETE the IDE ATA/ATAPI-controllers and
reboot,
and let xp find the controllers again, they will show up only ONCE now and
lets hope
the problem will be fixed. (you will probably need to reboot again after the
hardware is
detected again)
PS. DO a system restore point before you do this just in case something goes
wrong.
