  What I usually do when I don't want my 5.25 polled is go into the control
  panel & change slot 6 from Disk Port to My Card.  This may not work for
  you since I don't know your setup, but it works for me.  I don't think
  I have to disable/enable the driver either; just the slot assignment
  change, but play around.
