Boot TS - IDE Autodetect Error

Explanation: The system is trying to autodetect the IDE devices in the system but is having trouble identifying one or more of them and produces an error message.

Diagnosis: There is a problem with the device, its configuration, or its connection to the system.

Note: Many BIOSes will not properly detect ATAPI devices such as CD-ROM drives. These are controlled using software drivers so this is not a problem, as long as the boot doesn't stall trying to find them.

Recommendation: Troubleshoot the autodetection problem.
