Hi,
   I think I have run into this problem in the past.  In your
motherboard's bios, check and see if you have an option that
is labelled something like "Plug & Play O/S", (the wording may
be slightly different).  It should have a YES/NO setting.  If
it is set to yes, then try setting it to no and see if that helps.
(And setting it to no should not cause any problems for windows.)
