Simon Ngan 0 Posted January 30, 2000 Hi, Can anyone manage to get DirectCD 2.5/3.0 running on Win2K? I got the info. from Adaptec that DirectCD isn't compatible with Win2K, but I need to make copy of some files through CDRW and DirectCD is the only way to copy stuff (for me anyway). Thanks Simon Share this post Link to post
slkh 0 Posted January 30, 2000 Yes, a lot of people get it running by following http://members.home.com/mlafreniere1/ instructions. Share this post Link to post
Shrink 0 Posted January 30, 2000 However, if you have the acpi hal installed you will lose hibernation. 2.5d worked fine for me in Win2k final, but lost hibernation and standby. ------------------ Shrink 92% of the things we worry about don't happen - but the other 8% DO!

ThC 129 0 Posted January 30, 2000 DirectCD 3.0 works fine for me using the instructions in the post before. The only thing is that it still thinks the CD is in there after you eject it. Could just be one of my problems Share this post Link to post
hteles 0 Posted January 30, 2000 Does it Works with Win2k FINAL or just give a BSOD because of cdudf.sys Share this post Link to post
Shrink 0 Posted January 30, 2000 ThC 129 - will your system hibernate and go into standby mode? ------------------ Shrink 92% of the things we worry about don't happen - but the other 8% DO! Share this post Link to post
ThC 129 0 Posted January 30, 2000 No, it wont because Im using liveware 3 Share this post Link to post
Shrink 0 Posted January 31, 2000 Then do you know from the experience of others using the hacked Directcd 3 whether or not they lose hibernation? Thanks. ------------------ Shrink 92% of the things we worry about don't happen - but the other 8% DO! Share this post Link to post
Simon Ngan 0 Posted January 31, 2000 Guys, thanks for the information. I'm having a problem running Easy CD 4.0. I can't make copy of any CDs. I always get the function is not supported in your recorder. Well, I have a HP8100I and I know it's supported. I tried to burn at 1X, 2X, 4X, no success so far. I got the latest ASPI layer from Adaptec and I used the checking utility to make sure the ASPI is working properly. I guess I need to get this sorted out before I put DirectCD.

ThC 129 0 Posted January 31, 2000 Try reinstalling Adaptec EZ CD 4 then install the latest aspi layer 4.60 then try. Also make sure you have the 4.01 patch for ez cd 4. Share this post Link to post
wallaby 0 Posted March 19, 2000 simon i had the same problem when i went to 4.0 its all adaptecs fault they stoped supporting my older cd-rom reader it was a toshiba 12x scsi cd-rom. it would work perfect in 3.0 but 4.0 would not let me copy at any speed had to copy to harddrive first. i had the same problem with my toshiba 4x scsi cd-rom when 3.0 came out. do you see the trend adaptec hates toshiba. toshiba is not even listed on there compatible page anymore. my fix was to get a new reader a toshiba 4.8x dvd 32x cdrom. ya i know a toshiba again but at the time they where the only ones makeing scsi dvd drives. Wallaby by the way never try to get new firmware from toshiba. the drives are flashable but they make you send in your drive and wait 6-8 weeks when they could just e-mail you the file and you do it in five minutes.
