RE: While booting up I accidentally uninstalled my primary ide channel...

I know the drive works(its brand new)and it just stopped working when I deleted my primary ide channel by accident. I found this on a google search

OR... IF THAT DOESN'T WORK TRY THIS RegEdit Option:

Following is the mechanism that has worked for me, please try it at your own risk, it involves making changes to the registry:

Open RegEdit
Find the following KEY:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\000x
The last four digits will be 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, and so on.
Under each key, delete all occurences of the following values:
MasterIdDataChecksum
SlaveIdDataChecksum
Reboot the computer. Windows will now redetect DMA settings.


Does it make sense to try this? One of my checksum keys does have a value. I didn't delete w/o some assurance this will cause no damage.
