Hi there. I'm a first time PC builder.
I'm trying to connect at SATA DVD to the IDE conector on the motherboard.
I have a dynamode bidirectional converter which I have plugged into the motherboard IDE socket
I have plugged the power cable to a USB connector on the motherboard (cable supplied with converted) The converted now has power
I have connected the SATA data cable from the converter to the DVD (cable supplied)
I have connected a SATA power cable to the DVD drive.
I have fiddled around with various BIOS settings and although the drive has power it will not read any DVD from BIOS.
I've now reset to bios default settings, and the message I get on startup is
Primary Master Drive ATAPI Incompatable
Any ideas?
