ATAPI ECC

Post by Omega »

Hi. What the hell is atapi error correction. I am trying to read the MBR of my IDE HDD and it finds the hd on ide 0:0 but fails to read the MBR returning error code 0x04 which is ECC detected. thanks

IDE/ATA disks are not ATAPI. The error code that you are getting is probably not what you think it is. (Where are you reading this error code from, anyway?)
Are you doing this in PIO mode?
I suggested at one point that you read my ATA_PIO_Mode article. Did you?

Beyond that, we will need some code.

Would you care to enlighten us then? Maybe in the future, someone will find this article, and would like to know the solution.
