SCSI Problems in XP

[pcdabbler 0]

Hi, has anyone seen this ? I run an Adaptec 2940UW with a

Plextor 4220 and Px40 reader. On a clean install of WinXP

pro both devices produce at least five or more of these

errors in the event log on initial access by the Autoplay

function of XP, ie:

 

Event Type: Warning

Event Category: None

Event ID: 51

Date: 19/11/2001

Time: 11:16:10

User: N/A

Computer: PIPER

Also, the disks produced have errors reported in them as checked by

Plextools 1.10c. And yes, the SCSI chain is correctly terminated.. The set up works FINE in windows Me.

 

Anybody any ideas ? apart from the bundled Roxio software in XP just not liking SCSI burners ?

I have an Adaptec 2930c with a Imation 8x20 which worked just fine till I loaded Nero. I burned 1 disk fine now XP doesn't see the Writer as a writer just a CDrom.

 

I uninstalled the software restored from earlier date nothing has worked so far. You event log error is excatly what mine is.

 

Nero must have added something in the system files but I don't know what it is.

 

I uninstalled the Writer and the SCSI card no dice. Man this sucks.

You're lucky in a way, you at least always have a fallback in the native burnerware they include with the OS at least if you can still use it after your misfortunes.

Nope my CD Writer is nothing but a CD Rom now Event log only error and it has been reported. I bet I will have to reformat and reinstall to get writing back.

Thanks for the help but I have done that several times now. I build computers for myself and friends and am a Network Admin.

 

Nero added something in the driver directory and I'm going to find it or end up starting over which really isn't that big a deal. Just was kind of hoping that someone might have already found out what the problem was thanks again.

Have you downloaded the latest winaspi32.dll from Ahead's site, and put it in your NERO folder?

WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.57 (1008), size=48128 bytes, created 12/22/1997 7:23:24 PM

ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.28, size=172099 bytes, created 11/24/2001 6:52:16 PM

 

This came from the NeroHistory.log file. Also I uninstalled Nero. I tryed the newest wnaspi32 from adaptec just for shits and giggles no luck.

You need the winaspi32.dll from NERO's site, not Adaptec's.

 

I would reinstall Nero, and place the said dll in the NERO folder.

 

P.S. Thanks Alec
