Why two of each?

I have a brand new IS7-V2 (Intel i848P-ICH5) 1.0 Abit motherboard., with
Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 08/17/2004 BIOS. It has a 2.9 Celeron
processor, a Western Digital WD400JB-00ETA0 40 GB hard drive, a generic IDE
DVD-ROM 16X drive and a TDK CDRW241040B CD R/W drive, and a 3.5" floppy
drive.

I have the TDK Burner and the DVD on IDE 2 on the motherboard, and only the
Hard Drive on IDE 1.

The problem is in hardware devices in control panel, I apparrently have two
each of the following:

Intel(R) 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controllers
Intel(R) 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controllers
Primary IDE Channel [Controller]
Primary IDE Channel [Controller]
Secondary IDE Channel [Controller]
Secondary IDE Channel [Controller]

Everytime I try to right-click on every one of the above (not just one
representative of each) and Uninstall, then after I'm done (with all 6) I
reboot, the duplicates still always show up. IT always reinstalls all 6
everytime when detecting new hardware after rebooting.

Any insight on this would be beneficial.

This is an artifact of Chairman Bill's Windoze. :-) Delete all but the last
copies of each (sometimes there are a lot more that two) and reboot.
Peace,
Paul

During bootup, hit F8 until you can get into 'Safe-mode'. Delete dupe's
from there, and re-boot.

So you're finally letting the cat out of the bag, eh?

And I wondered how long it would be before you rose from The Pit® of
depravity. Something welling up from beneath the lower depths, or were you
just enjoying your place in the bowels of the earth?
