Just a follow up to the suggestions made by others on this list.
Under "hard disk controllers" in the system file I have 3 items listed:
Intel PIIX PCI IDE Controller (Bus Mastering not supported)
Primary IDE controller (dual fifo)
Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo)

In safe mode I can remove the Intel PIIX controller, however I cannot remove
the Primary or Secondary controller.  (The Primary IDE controller is the
item showing the conflict ((yellow explanation point)).  Upon reboot, the
Intel controller reinstalls, but I know at the beginning of rebooting that
it didn't work because I get 2 beep sounds followed by the conflict notice
on the screen once again.  I have also tried to remove the Syquest files
from my system using my uninstaller, but on rebooting, the problem is still
there.  If any one has any other suggestions, I am open.
