Hello Today I added an 'Ultra ATA/100 IDE Controller card PCI' to my Windows XP Pro system. The card was recognised by XP and configured without a glitch! ... I've attached a CD Rom to it and everything works fine. However! .... when I shut the PC down it hangs at the 'Windows shutting down' screen .... I take the card out and it closes down OK so it is definite caused by the IDE card. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? TIA ...
