I am running a RAID on Windows XP. I have an IDE CDROM drive that is working fine.

I recently added an IDE HD. Every time I boot, Windows XP find the new HD again and again. Every time it goes throught "Found New Hardware Wizard" and comes to

"Cannot Install this Hardware...
An error occured during the installation of the device
The specified service does not exist as an installed service."

After I click Finish and the wizard closes, the HD is there (in Disk Management) and works fine.

I tried to install a CompactFlash reader, and I got the same dialog. Is there a service that I am missing?

Any help is appreciated!
