yes, when i uninstall nforce ATA controller i see these primary ide channel and sc. ide channel. i can disable ch2 but not ch1 (from device manager). its the same as you... BUT i've seen a screenshot of a guys pc at other forums, he has the same nforce controller as mine, but there is a DISABLE button.. He says that he disable it and all sf games work with no problems. Why i cant disable it?
