The previous code is illegal according to the ATA/ATAPI-6 standard. The 
device reset command is mandatory for ATAPI devices and calling it on 
ATA devices is strictly prohibited! I would accept any solution that 
will not send the DEVICE RESET command to ATA drives, be it software 
reset (as used by many other OSes) or something else.
