I have the same problem as I mentioned in an earlier post.
All devices that are integrated to the main board are
gone, thoguh they all work. My machine runs a Via chipset
and reinstallign the 4-in-1 driver and suing the measures
mentioned here didnt work. Even Via Bus Master IDE
controller is gone...
