Success!!!! Can now rip and burn...
This is long and complicated, so read on if you has Windows 2000 and the same problem. Ude at your own risk......
I was reading the "Fix for some bad CD burns" thread and decided to try and re-installed the IDE/ATA controller. When I started, under "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller in the Device Manager, I had listed:
- Intel(r) 82801BA Bus Master IDE Controller
- Ultra ATA Channel
- Ultral ATA Channel
1) I uninstalled "Intel(r) 82801BA Bus Master IDE Controller", then rebooted. After 2 re-boots, I showed:
- Intel(r) 82801BA Bus Master IDE Controller
- Primary IDE Channel
- Secondary IDE Channel
- Ultra ATA Channel
- Ultral ATA Channel
Now the IDE Channels and the Ultra ATA Channel conflict. In addition, there was no uninstall optin for the ATA channels.
2) Went into the properties for "Secondary IDE Channel", Advanced tab. Changed device type to "None". Reboot.
Now the uninstall option for the (secondary) Ultra ATA Channel appears.
3) Uninstall (second) "Ultra ATA Channel", reboot.
4) Go back into the Advanced tab for the Secondary IDE Channel and set device type to Auto and transfer mode to "DMA if available", reboot.
Now the Secondary channel device should work properly.
5) This is the tricky bit. If you try the same for the primary channel, Windows won't boot as it loses the hard drive. Swap cables to put the hard drive to the master of the secondary IDE bus. Reboot, going to bios to hard set the drive locations. When you have booted back up, do the same to the primary channel that was done to the secondary (steps 2 through 4).
6) Shut down again, get the cables all sorted back to where they are suppossed to be, reboot and hopefully you should only have:
- Intel(r) 82801BA Bus Master IDE Controller
- Primary IDE Channel
- Secondary IDE Channel
Under the Advanced tab the option for device type should not be available and it should say "current transfer mode" is "Ultra DMA Mode" for all drive.
This was a very large PITA, but all seems to be working right now.
