Ewww...the dreaded "out of resources" error. Haven't seen that one in a while. Usually you can get Windows to tell you what "resource" it can't acquire (I/O, IRQ, etc). Instead of just randomly disabling devices, find out what device is conflicting, then either disable it or change the conflicting device's settings to not conflict anymore. I don't have a Windows box handy, so I don't have the exact directions for that.
As for the RAID driver, you definitely need it. Even though you're not running RAID, the RAID controller is what Windows must communicate with to access your drive. If you disable or remove the driver, your sATA ports essentially become invisible to Windows.
