26226	2001-12-02 00:30:00	I recently bought my 1st PC & tried to burn a full disc backup to cdrw using nero. The system locked up and upon reset I got 'Sec master drive ATAPI incompatible-press F1' Proceeded but cdrw would not work & was missing from My Computer. Since then the system starts OK & the drive has reappeared, but crashes regularly -usually when using the cdrw. I always get the same 'ATAPI' message upon reset. Any help for a PC novice would be appreciated.	Guest (0)

It's up to them to make it work. If you installed the drive yourself, check that you have the MA/SL/CS jumper on the correct pins.	Guest (0)

In internet Explorer Click on Tools/windows update or www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com You should do this fairly regularly as new fixes come up or you can download the auto update notification > which I won't!.
