My computer would not shut down - hard drive light stayed on for many minutes. My computer usually shuts down fast. I finally turned off power then rebooted. I got to Windows start up screen but then nothing and hard drive light was on. Tried safe-mode and it hung during loading drivers. Tried again a few times. Finally it got further and did a disk check on its own on my data drive - not main drive.
I then got into windows and everything seemed fine. I checked the event viewer and a few hours before this happened there were 5 red errors labeled atapi stating: "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort1." all time-stamped a few seconds of each other.
But I have no IDE Devices. Both my hard drives and my DVD drive are all SATA - I have no IDE devices.
Or does SATA use IDE device? If so, how do I tell which of my drives is port1?
What could this error mean? I did a disk check-now and found nothing wrong with either drive.
