Have you tried disabling it in the BIOS? There should bean option to do it. There may also be a jumper on the motherboard that is responsible for this. Windows will install all the drivers as they are already on the machine unless you disable it. So try the BIOS settings. Then it should work.

Yuo can get some info here, although it will take a bit of searching. That's if you haven't got the manual that says how to do it:

One other thing you can try if what xscape's suggestions don't work, you can disable the hardware in device manager, that should free up the resources, this is NOT a guarentee. Mike Wills
