After trying to find a problem with my dvd-rw I uninstalled my cd-rw as it just done the same job as my dvd-rw anyway(to try and get rid of compatability issues) my cdr-rw and dvd-rw were on the same ide cable with the dvd-rw set as master and cd-rw slave. now that I've removed the cd-rw I've now got my HD on my primary ide set as master and my cd-rom on same ide as slave, then on my secondary ide my dvd-rw set to master, when my pc boots up I get the error message afapi incompatible press f1 to resume on boot up but when I do resume the drives seem to work ok. Now I can't just switch my pc on and leave it cos I need to press f1 to get it boot up.
Btw when I changed the cables on my drives I did'nt uninstall the hardware first it just reinstalled them on boot up with the found new hardware wizard, would this have caused the problem?
