The title says it all. I installed a SSD C:\ drive, and also have a SATA CD/DVD drive. When booting, the POST screen says that the CD/DVD Drive is ATAPI incompatible. In windows the CD/DVD works fine, but when I want to use a live DVD ie: Knoppix, it won't boot because of the incompatibility.

I have the following hardware:

  • Biostar i55, (SATA 2) motherboard
  • sata CD/DVD drive
  • SSD crucial 300c as pri hard drive for windows

I know it's a little odd to answer my own question, but the problem was that IDE was still active in the bios. After disabling the drive in the bios, the cd/dvd drive worked great!
