Problem with SCSI Plextor and XP
Hello,
I've got a SCSI Plextor 12/4/32, which works fine with Win98. But with XP I get unreadable CD's. Nero 6.0.0.9 seems to burn ok, no error messages, but when I try to read the CD, the drive gives up. Same with other drives, on other computers (Win2K, Win98). CD is unreadable. The same version of Nero works fine with Win98 on this computer (same CD-RW medium, CD-R medium, same speed). I turned off the XP burning function and updated the firmware of the Plextor drive (with no effect). XP SP1. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Stefan |

Update Nero, you've got a pretty buggy version there.

It may be your (unnamed) adapter; I'm using an Adaptec 2940 and did not turn off the applet. One possibility is that you have installed a partial or inconsistent ASPI layer - I use none at all. The first step in analysis may be to check the quality of the disc as written, but I think Dan's suggestion about the Nero version may be the first order of business. I'm running 6.3.1.6.

Mike I tried Nero 6.3.1.15 but achieved no effect. Interestingly, I can see the track on the disk using Neros "Disk Info" feature. I can see it also with ISO buster, but not with the explorer. And after using the newer Version of Nero the behavior changed: before, when accessing the disk via explorer the CDROM tried and tried and did nothing after all. Now I get an error message, that the disk might have an unsupported format. The adapter is a Tekram DC315U. I will follow this path next. Thanks for your help! Stefan |

Stefan Another Update: I tried a different SCSI host adapter (Adaptec AIC6360 ISA) - the problem persists. I will try a different burning software next. Stefan |
