Here's some history..
Awhile ago I installed the latest VIA IDE drivers, and about the same time, my internal ZIP and cdrom drives stopped showing up in My Computer, wouldn't be in Device Manager, even though they showed up in BIOS during boot.
I was able to right click on all the stuff in IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers in Device Mananger and choose uninstall, and now i have regular old "Primary IDE Channel" and "Secondary IDE channel", and my zip drive back at least (which was on the secondary IDE channel and had dissapeared, while the burner stayed there, very weird). However, my cdrom and main hard drive are on primary IDE channel and that device has a conflict with "VIA BM Ultra DMA Channel" which I can't remove or disable. So while my hard drive shows up, the cdrom still does not.
The final device i have listed (there are 4 total) is "VIA Bus Master IDE Controller".
So my question is, how can I remove "VIA BM Ultra DMA Channel" so it stops conflicting with the generic "Primary IDE Channel" and I can get my cdrom back? Right clicking on it only gives "Properties" and "Scan for Hardware changes", not the normal "Disable" and "Uninstall" that I find on other devices. Going into properties says it's working fine, but no driver has been loaded.
What do I have to edit to kill this off? I swear that when I finally get rid of it, my cdrom will return.
If worse comes to worse, I'll just format and reinstall Win2k.
