Hi Cesar

In the BIOS, set all the IDE channels to AUTO.
Pri Master = AUTO
Pri Slave = AUTO
Sec Master = AUTO
Sec Slave = AUTO
That should take care of the Atapi Incompatible message.

If you still cannot see your DVD and Burner in Windows, then go to Device Manager.
Are there any yellow ! next to hard disk controllers ?
If yes, have a look in the Registry.

1. Run REGEDIT and search for NOIDE
2. It will be here if you have it in your registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\VXD\IOS
3. Look on right hand screen for NOIDE and delete it, if you find it there

Good luck
Krystyna
