Hi

My bios is searching for my harddisk... but I get the message: 'ATAPI not
compatible'

Why would this error occur please?

Thank you

Please discribe how you have your hard drive connected. Any other device on
the same cable?

sounds like a Zip drive or similar connected to IDE and you have Zip /
external drive to boot first.
