Soaplover) Just noticed this as I was going through some of your suggestions. I might have mentioned that I have three SCSI devices on this system, two scanners and one Jazz drive. What I just noticed is that the SCSI Jazz acts just like the ATAPI CD Rom and CD R/W drives. IE, If there is...

Nah Soaplover, I do not smoke but I could end up drinking. I did revert to the 4.6 ASPI layers via Force ASPI, (dumpaspi.bat, killaspi.bat and instaspi.bat scripts). Did the necessary reboots and chkaspi shows all is happy and properly installed but the situation didn't change. I hate to...

I felt confident that the 4 sec delay would work because I see a delay there with a disk inserted before boot (when all works). Without a disk inserted the IDE acquisition post flies right by. But the added delay didn't work. I'm almost ruling out the ASPI but not yet. I removed the ASPI...

I don't have NERO installed...use NTI but I did TRY and install Nero CD Speed v2.02 to check the CD speed (Soaplover). It encountered a problem installing... Cd drives were operating (media inserted before boot) when I tried to run the APP. I did come across that 'Radified site' ... Never did...

I went through everything suggested and ended up at square one. Still not reading the CD drives unless the media is installed before booting up. I am realizing that the ASPI situation is a mess on XP and I'm not alone. Just came across this and will sort through it...

One last look...hopefully. As I'm looking deeper into this I'm seeing what I may have done wrong initially. After installing XP-Pro I realized I needed ASPI layers for my SCSI devices to work. Looking at the files returned from aspichk.exe I may have installed ASPI for Win 2000. Looking at...

The XP-Pro was a fresh install. The 2 drives are in DMA mode Noticed another wrinkle when I did a search to locate the two files before I renamed them as you suggested. There was already a wowpost.ex_ besides the wowpost.exe. This was in the c:\adaptec\aspi folder. The executable is a...

I'm getting this under "aspichk.exe": -www.adeptec.com- WINDOWS XP Component Version Size ASPI32.SYS 4.71.2 16877 bytes WDWPOST.EXE 4.6 (1021)4672 bytes WINASPI.DLL 4.6 (1021)5600 bytes WINASPI32.DLL 4.71.2 45056 bytes The versions...

I can write to the CD R/W even using XP's native write utility. I see the drive letters in Explorer but cant READ the media on either drive. The Device Manager indicates all is working properly. One workaround is that if I put the media in before I boot up all works well. Using Microsoft's...
