Do you have Nero installed? If so, what version?

 

[IVo]

Yup i have nero installed...
Version 5564.. but i unistalled cd-r win

Before Nero 5564 there was a lot of problems with it making drives disappear. But you have the newest one.

You might try uninstalling your burner in device manager, reboot, and see if XP picks it back up. Other then that i'm not sure what it could be.

First : have you gone to windows Update , there is a fix there for the burner problem.....

To get round this copy the Nero - WNASPI32.DLL (attached) to the cdr win folder and open up cdr win and in the settings select this as your aspi driver, then reboot.


you can also disable the inbuilt burner which i have heard is also a good thing to do but i cant remeber how

 

[IVo]

That sucks...
do you know a way that i can uninstall the aspi drivers?
b/c i was thinking bout disconnecting the burner then pluging it back in to start over...

isnt there an exe there to use to remove them ? in the ASPI zip file ...

anyway you shouldnt have to remove the ASPI ...

Just remove your CD burner in device manager, unplug it , reboot, remove any Burning software

Shutdown

Plug it in

Install nero .....

then once all up and running put that DLL in the CDRwin like i saud above

Inside the aspi4all folder there should be an unistall.bat or something like that but it won't get the drives back... I've seen this problem before on other forums and had it myself twice after install incompatable burning software... Reinstall seems to be the usual and only "fix"...

Putting the wnaspi.dll file in the cd-rwin folder will get it working next time... Stay away from anything Adaptec... And only ECDC5.02c will work...
