is anyone see this error?

Device\Ide\IdePort1\ , did not respond within the timeout period."

called MS they told me they have no idea why i am getting this error- they
claim no one called saying they had this error but i have seen lots of posts
with same problem.

Removed sp2- no more error

i have tried everything

updated bios
reinstalled cd rom drivers
checked to make sure the cdroms are seated in the right place
still get the same error msg after sp2

does anyone know how to fix this?

What about DMA settings under the controllers properties/advanced settings?
Is it enabled?

but thanks anyway
