TITLE: Microsoft Windows 2000 Intelide.sys Fix for ICH5 Drive Swapping Lockup 
Issue

VERSION: 1.00 Rev. A
DESCRIPTION:
This corrects a problem under Windows 2000 on a computer with an Intel ICH5 
southbridge.  The driver that is used for the IDE controller may be the generic 
Pciide.sys driver instead of the correct Intelide.sys driver. If the computer 
has hot-swappable drive bays, the computer may stop responding (lock up) when 
you swap between two ultra DMA devices.  This occurs because Pciide.sys does 
not support this type of swapping. 

For further information, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 322359.
