Ata/atapi Ide

[woualex]

ok listen, here is the problem..

i changed my computer about 5 years ago and i had a ATA/ATAPI IDE cd-rom

driver. Now, with my new computer, i want to reinstall this cdrom driver but

it works badly. is this because he is too old or i have to find a driver. so if

someone find something about this kind of cd-rom driver, reply please!!!

1. It would be nice to have the make/model of the drive
2. Sounds like a PIO/DMA problem:

To ensure your drives are operating in DMA mode: (1) Control Panel, (2) System, (3) Goto the Hardware Tab, (4) Device Manager, (5) IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, (6) Right Click on Primary IDE Channel --> Properties, (7) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK,(8) Right Click on Seconady IDE Channel --> Properties, (9) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK, (10) Reboot.
