1762 config error after adding cdrw on Aptiva PC

[Craig1]

I've just bought a Smart & Friendly cdrw and when I installed it, I booted the pc and I'm now getting a &quot;1762 - Configuaration has changed&quot; error. Obviously my configuration has changed!!! I seem to be able to exit out of bios and windows loads fine. I've even been able to use the cdrw to burn cd's.<br><br>I just want to get rid of the error message and find out what they're talking about.<br><br>P.S I've already set up the cr-rom as master and the cdrw as slave. Both are on the secondary ide channel. My hard disk is on the primary ide on it's own.<br><br>Anyone got any clues???

Did you receive a setup disk with the machine?&nbsp;&nbsp;That was how it was done with early models and I don't know if it held true through the entire model run. You booted with setup and the booted program updated the configuration. <p>Ed Fair<br><a href=mailto: efair@atlnet.com> efair@atlnet.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply. <br>

Older systems, and most of the Aptiva line, store a copy of the configuration into cmos.&nbsp;&nbsp;Go into configuration mode (via bios, setup disk, or whichever for you model), view the configuration and verify that it is correct.&nbsp;&nbsp;Next, save changes.&nbsp;&nbsp;The change saved is the new configuration.&nbsp;&nbsp;This should fix the problem, if not, let me know.<br><br>It <i>could</i> be something else like needing a bios update, but it is probably just the configuration.<br><br>Jeremy Hannon<br>Brainbench &quot;Most Valuable Professional&quot; for Computer Technicians<br><A HREF="
