Loading Win2K Problems

E

When attempting to load Win2K after a hd crash, currently
using a backup Win98 OS, I get a message -"Your multi-
function device (Standard Dual PCI IDE Controller) has
some child devices using 32-bit drivers and others using
compatibility-mode drivers. This configuration is not
supported so your computer halted to prevent corruption.

After you restart your computer, Windows will use
compatibility-mode drivers for each child device attached
to this multi-function device. If you want to use 32-bit
drivers, you may have to obtain an updated driver for the
device that caused the problem by contacting a hardware
manufacturer, or you can disable the device."

How do I determine the problem device other than as
mentioned the Standard Dual PCI..........., is it a
scanner, printer, or where do I look to correct the
problem? What is a child device, this is a new term to me
as I am not much of a computer geek.
