Thread-topic: Pri Slave Drive ATAPI Incompatible

I replaced the system board, processor, and memory in PC 1 and used the old 
parts to build PC 2.  PC2 has a new hard drive and a CD drive from PC1.  When I 
boot PC2 I get the error 'Pri Slave Drive ATAPI Incompatible' on the CD drive 
along with a hard drive error.  I am making the assumption at this time the HDD 
error is due to not being formatted yet so I'm focusing on the ATAPI error.  
The HDD tools are on CD so I need to get the CD going to work on the HDD.

I have tried swapping cables, changing IDE controllers on the system board, and 
switching from master to slave.  Nothing seems to help.  I will probably try 
them all again this weekend just to make sure I cover all the bases.

Does anyone have any experience with the 'Pri Slave Drive ATAPI Incompatible' 
error?
