ATAPI Incompaitble?
Answers would be appreciated, regards Andrew
Answer:
This error system (in a more-expanded form) that your (new) secondary slave drive plugged into one and the same slot needs to configured for ATAPI.
I do concur next to the other answerers that yes, you should check your jumper pin settings at the stern of your drive first as per the manufacturer settings. I do own other suggestions from experience.
My first suggestion is to make sure you are using the different 80-wire (still a 40-pin cable interface, just smoother, thinner near more wires). It is a very adjectives mistake that original 40-wire/40-pin cable are used in an EIDE drive. I've see this alot and usually putting the new 80-wire cable contained by and bingo-bongo, error gone.
If that doesn't work. I would also suggest double-checking you ATAPI settings in your boot BIOS. By entering your CMOS BIOS setup when your PC boots up (by pressing Del or F1 depending on your PC - try both if the F1 push button or the Del key alert is not posted at the black boot screen) .
You can check the drive settings for your inferior slave. usually on the very first BIOS blind. If it's set to Auto you should be okay. It's it's set to something else, you may have to any reset it to Auto or try to set it to something comparable.
Note: Be aware that you are changing the settings on your minor slave drive ONLY. It you adjust the settings for any of the other Primary or Secondary Master and/or Slave, you could be changing configuration of your unyielding drive and your system may not boot at all.
Don't verbs, you won't fry your new drive or your system by trying different settings as long as you changeover just the Secondary Slave, you may only just have boot issues as formerly.
It sounds like the drive nouns is ATAPI, so look for a BIOS setting that allows either ATAPI, IDE or EIDE and try adjust the settings there.
Hope this help...
Did you set the jumper?
Try turning your computer past its sell-by date, unplugging it, and then remove and reset cable that connect to it at all points. Motherboard conclusion and DVD burner end. Turn it subsidise on and see what happens. It is also possible that the jumper may be set incorrectly. If they seem to be set correctly, try shifting the sec slave drive to the secondary master and swing the other to secondary slave if you enjoy 2 cd rom drives.
Note:-sec slave--Remove jumper and Sec master--set jersey

The old one you pulled out is connected and jersey set to slave drive. Your brand new DVD burner have its jumper as master. Follow the jersey setting guide and put the jumper on the pins designated for slave drive. That should put your PC hindmost in business.
