missing IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers section in DM

D

Doc

I just noticed that the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers section is missing
in Device Manager. Instead, I have the following down below the USB
Controllers section:

Unknown
Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers
Intel(R) 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Control
Primary IDE Channel
Primary IDE Channel
Secondary IDE Channel

All the drives seem to be functioning normally. Why are these items
being shown as Device Type Unknown? I've tried uninstalling them and
letting Windows redetect, but it keeps coming up like this. Anyone
know a way to fix this?

Computer: HP m7160n
OS: WinXP MCE SP2

The ICH7 controller gets its drivers from intel matrix storage utility,the
IDE
controllers will also.Go to intel.com/downloads 1st install the "chipset
installation
utility",then the matrix storage mgr.Both are in chipset/software...
