iastor.sys should definitely be left alone!
iastor.sys is Intel SATA RAID Controller.
Windows XP cannot even see your hard drive without iastor.sys if you have a SATA/RAID hard drive. Maybe other types of hard drives also, I do not know anything about that, I have a SATA/RAID hard drive. Windows XP cannot even be installed without having iastor.sys on an F6 floppy disk or slipstreamed onto the XP CD if you have a SATA/RAID hard drive. XP will not see the hard drive and the install will error out.
I discovered all of this the hard way by blowing Windows Vista away on a new machine and had to jump through hoops to get Windows XP installed.
