What is ATA or IDE drive? What is ATAPI? What is DVI?

They mean the same thing. ATA stands for "AT Attachment" and IDE stands for "Integrated Drive Electronics", interface used to connect hard disks and optical disks to the PC. Compared to SCSI interface, IDE is more economical. ATAPI is ATA for peripherals like CD-ROM.

DVI stands for Digital Video Interface; it's a video interface standard.
