You may have a corrupted install if you have other errors too. Have you tried to
reinstall the system?
The Intel application/drivers for the chipset are here,
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/
but it shouldn't be needed for Win 9X. Can't promise that it will work on your board.
It was mainly for Intel branded boards but should work for your chipset. Just make
sure to read everything that is important to make sure.. Intel's drivers may not
be exactly right for your board. Otherwise, you have to download drivers from Gigabyte,
if they have them. You would need the actual model number of the board though, which
isn't in the info that you posted (only the chipset number is there). Many times
those utilities won't/can't determine the actual model of the board. You would have
to try and find it printed on the board somewhere, or have the actual owners manual
that lists the model number.
If it were mine, I would take a spare HDD and do a clean test install of Windows,
to see if the HDD DMA/PIO check box appeared under the drive listing. If it does,
then you have your answer. The old install of Windows is damaged and may not be
repairable, other than a repair install, or a clean install if that fails.
Can't help more than that without actually being able to get my hands on it to test
it myself.. Good Luck!!
