Device manager usually lists HDDs by their model names but on my newly-transplanted system the drives are labeled as "Disk drive". Any ideas on why that might be?

You probably need to install an updated set of INFs for your system chipset. You might also have to delete the devices. Since they're disk drives, you'll be needing to do that in safe mode.

Well, I've already installed the chipset drivers so I'm gonna try the second option. Thanks for the tip, Merc.
