The problem is more than likely with chipset ide controller drivers. There are no drivers (the way you are thinking) for drives the "Firmware" is directly on the logic board of the drive. What make and model number is the PC and/or the Motherboard. what do you have the jumpers set to? If they are Cable Select then switch them to master and slave.
