My IDE controllers are listed under "Hard Disk Controllers."

I see:

* Primary IDE controller (dual fifo) (settings dependent on VIA controller)
* Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo) (settings dependent on VIA controller)
* VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller (only modifiable setting: "Dual IDE Channel Settings," set to Default).

No go there.

One other quirk, which probably means nothing: the CDRW is openly listed under "Secondary Master" in the BIOS, but there is no Primary Master listed (it's set to "Auto," rather than explicitly to the HDD.) I'm not fucking around in the BIOS unless I know exactly what I'm doing and why, however.
