No, it's not a controller card. AFAIK, the IDE controller is on the system
board of the lptop. I'm going to try and uninstall the VIA IDE driver using
add/remove programs and see what that does, if I can...
Also, what is system.log? periodically, I get a ballon in the system tray
that states that the file is corrupted and I need to run chkdsk. Then
chkdsk finds a bunch of corrupted indexes and orphaned files and fixes them.
