I got a 6X PC-DVD and i tried to install it. When it was installed, I got a bios message that said: "Device not ATPI Compatable. Press F1 to continue." How do i fix this? I have it set as secondary slave to my Optoright CDRW drive, which is the Secondary Master. What am i doing wrong?

I think I had a similar problem and I forced the master/slave jumpers and that solved the problem. I had them on cable select and windows would not recognize the DVD player.

I found the problem. It's EIDE, not IDE, it works now.

So how did you fix it? In terms of moderd day motherboards and BIOS's there shouldn't really be anything you have to fidget with to set a EIDE or IDE compatibility?

So what did you do?

How old is your motherboard? And how old is the CDRW? If you motherboard was made in this century there should be essentially no distinction between IDE and EIDE. Please explain further.
