Gotta problem with my CD-ROM that has me baffled. It’s an Atiapi IDE drive, speed unknown but an older one probably 6 or 8 X. I’m running W98SE on a MBAT61 mobo with a 433 celly with 64mb of RAM. It had been working fine but all of a sudden this change. The only recent change is to pull a PCI video card (4mb ram) out and put in an AGP type (32mb). Can’s see how that could affect it.
No matter what type of CD you put in it, data or audio it says it’s an audio CD. But with the audio CD it does not play it or recognize the correct number of tracks on the disc. It shows 8 tracks whether it’s an audio or data disc. I think this is probably OS related as I hooked up a different drive (still Atapi IDE but 44X) and while it would at least play the audio CD; headphones only not thru the mobo, it too still would not recognize a data disc as such but as a audio disc. Both drives cause the OS CD player to pop up but they both say data or not disc loaded no matter what type of disc is in the drive. Any thoughts on this?
Also, during POST it give me a Resource conflict, PNP audio error but in Windows device manager there are no conflicts shown. Are they related? What gives here?
All help is greatly appreciated.
