   I'm suddenly getting a BSOD saying there's an atapi.sys error. I have Windows XP Pro SP3. Any suggestions how to deal with this?
   
   Thanks

   That error indicates a problem with an optical drive (CD or DVD).
   Can you boot into windows?

   Couldn't get into Windows so I gave up. It was time for a clean install anyway.
   
   Thanks for trying
