Lite On DVD Rom ??
Installed a new Lite On XJ-HD166S DVD Rom.
Received the following message on boot: Your Multi-function devices (Standard Dual PCI IDE controller) has some childs devices using 32 bit drivers and others using combatibility-mode drivers. This configuration is not supported, so your computer has been halted to prevent corruption. After you restart your computer, windows will use combatibility-mode drivers for each child device attached to this multi-function device. If you want to use 32 bit drivers, you may be able to obtain an updated driver for the device that caused the problem by contacting your hardware manufacturer or you can disable the device. Never heard of childs devices--can anyone explain this? Thanks Rick |

The child device is a device e.g. a DVD drive that the PC does not access directly, but instead accesses through another device i.e. an IDE port. The message probably indicates that the DVD rom won't work with 32 bit protected mode drives but another device on the same IDE port will. You need to get this fixed. The DVDROM should work with 32 bit drivers with DMA enabled. Rick wrote: Installed a new Lite On XJ-HD166S DVD Rom.

I have a Lite On (16x/48x DVD-ROM) identified by the BIOS as: JLMS XJ-HD165H (note the "H" not "S") I have had no trouble with the device being seen in Divice Manager as a DMA device. There is no driver required or shown. (Win98FE). Check in your Device Manager. Try disconnecting it, and remove any reference to it in Device Manager. Then reconnect it, reboot and see if Windows finds it correctly. You do need the software that came with it to play DVDs, but that should not affect it's use as a CD ROM.

Thanks Rick I failed to mention that the two times this has happened I have had to reformat as it removes both cdroms (Lite On CDRW and LG CD Rom Drive) from My Computer. When I go to the device manager there are yellow exclamation marks beside the Primary and Secondary IDE Controllers ! I have tried to remove these to reinstall drivers but it does not work. Thanks , Rick |

Hi Rick, Probably obvious but it would pay to check the settings in the BIOS for the IDE controllers. -- ~misfit~ |
