If you can get the new driver onto a USB stick and within Linux mount 
the ntfs partition with ntfs-3g, you might be able to get the correct 
driver onto the partition. I don't know about the registry or other 
maybe problems but it worked for me to be able to get the below problem 
corrected. After replacing the file the loop was stopped. The other 
problem with SATA and IDE drives is still a mystery. :-) - Another day, 
another windows all binary collision. It is like a city with no stop 
lights and all drivers talking on their cell phones while driving. 
something has to go wrong.
