Did you even read it you dumbshit? Anyway, since its in system 32, windows would just replace it with the valid one.

Read it again, you moron.

| It still does not need that file to run. Windows should replace it all by its self.

Kindly refrain from just telling people to delete needed system files, ESPECIALLY when you don't even know if Windows will replace it or not on it's own.

The simple answer for atapi.sys is it's a file system used for optical drives.
Optical drives as in CD/DVD ROMs.
If you can, disconnect the DVD drives or change a the cable.
