Just bought a Pioneer DVD drive. I hook the DVD drive up, go to the bios and set everything to *defaults* and make sure that *ATAPI CD-ROM drive* is set to the first bootable device. I don't know why it says ATAPI-CD-ROM drive. Shouldn't it say DVD cause I replaced the cdrom with the dvd-rom? Well, after I do that I reboot the system of course thinking it's gonna boot my os and pick up the drive. Nope! I get a weird error acd0: MODE_SENCE_BIG command timeout - resetting ata1: resetting devices .. done I will keep doing that and doing that over and over. Finally it will load the OS but the DVD drive will not work. Currently I just hooked the cdrom drive back up for now but want to put this $60 drive to some use ya know? Don't know much about hardware. Some help is really apprecaited. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
