If you're testing a CDRW drive, you have to have media that can be read from and written to... I always use a blank, formatted CDRW. Try that, and see if you still get the incompatible media warning.
Msg: IDE device failed: Incompatible CD for testing
I have tried starting in safe mode but it just sits there with a screen full of text. I tried last know good and also did not start.
It begins to boot and goes through the black screen with the XP logo with the meter below, then goes to a black screen, rather than pulling up the blue XP screen that appears before logon it just shuts down and begins to reboot.
It is a Dell GX 60 Optiplex. I took the CDRW out of the bootsequence but that also does nothing.

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
If you reboot to safe mode and uninstall Nero, does the system work?
