I have an Asus p4B motherboard and I've installed Windows XP Professional. In my System Devices, I have one good instance and one unknown instance of "Intel 82801BA LPC Interface Controller - 2440". The bad one says the drivers may not be loaded properly. Does anyone know what this device is for and how to resolve this conflict? I have already uninstalled each instance too many times to count.

That, (those two) are the IDE controllers. If there is one HD and one CD on one ribbon, then the secondary IDE may be disabled in BIOS. . .

Enable both IDE channels in both BIOS and in Windows Device Manager, and see if it clears that up.

If not, then uninstall and remove each peripheral device in the system, except video, turn on the maotherboard features in BIOS and install the chipset drivers in Windows, then insert and install the peripherals again. . cheers.
