Recently, I added a Netgear NIC and removed an old WinModem from my computer. When I restarted I found that the computer didn't see any IDE devices and had put yellow exclamation marks after the primary and secondary IDE Controllers in the Device Manager. I tried to remove them to see if it would find them again; didnt work. I took out the Netgear NIC and all its drivers; didnt work. In Safe Mode, everything looks ok in the device manager. But once I go back to Normal Mode, I cant use any IDE device exceptthe HD. Any ideas other than a reinstallation of Windows.
thx...
Edit: I should mention that Im not completely sure if this problem came up before or after I installed the NIC. I haven't used the CDROM or ZIP for a short while, so something else could have happened, though the timing is awfully suspicious.
