Hi,
I've the following problem with cd-rom and and cd-rw on users computer. The user deleted the ASPI folder and now none of the above works. I've installed sp4 for win2000, aspi-layer from adaptec. Update for easy-creator5. Unistalled the cd-rom and cd-rw. The computer finds the hardware and says it has installed new hardware on startup. But they won't work. What to do next?? Reinstall win2000?? Please help!
Regards,

//H

The ASPI layer is only part of the driver requirements for IDE drives.

Download and install the latest IDE drivers for the chip-set on the motherboard.

In W2K, it often works to simply delete ALL 3 IDE controllers from device manager and allowWindows to re-install them upon re-booting.

It didn't help removing ide controllers...
But the user had installed a program Steinberg Wave lab a month ago. This was the problem, but also the soulution. There was a function called ASPI update and that solved the problem. Thanks for your helpt!!
