Vista won't boot - ataport.sys missing

Had a problem with Vista the other day where it would not boot and
reported that ataport.sys was missing. I tried a repair installation
but this didn't work so a clean install was performed.

Can anybody explain how this file has suddenly disappeared? Also is
there a way I can access the HD from a DOS disk with Vista so that I
coould insert missing files in future?

Thanks,

Andy
