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?

The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.

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.
