atapi drives seen as scsi

Are you are the motherboard built-in ATAPI/IED port or an add-on PCI ATA.
Or maybe you have use the RAID controller?

Only the built-in IDE ports will list the drives (amy type) as ATAPI/IDE.
The other contolloer will be trated as SCSI.

set my DVD Re-writer and my LITEON CDRW as SCSI drives instead of ATAPI
drives. This is causing me problems as I don't have a SCSI interface and my
burning software won't recognise my drives correctly. Is there any way I can
change these settings?
