Hi

Thank you for your query

From the error message that you are seeing you are having a issue with one or both of your IDE devices. These devices are your Hard drive or/and your CD/DVD drive

I would not recommned that you tackle it yourself if you have no PC engineering experience

Please book into a reputabe firm for further diagnosis, it may be that you may need to discoonect the IDE drive from the devices and give it a clean or alternativley one of the devices may be faulty

If this has been useful please leave positive feedback/vote/testimonial as

this will help me greatly - Thank you again
