ASPI Layer and Drive Image

I started a previous thread about DI 2002 and the problem I was having.

I was trying to check my ASPI Layer and I think I need some hand holding. I went to the following;



I am running XP Home;

Followed the link to the Adaptec Web Site, downloaded aspichk ran it and everything was N/A aspi is not properly installed.

Followed the link to 4.60, tried it, and get a no qualified Adaptec products etc.

Not sure where to go from here, or if I can go from here.

Thanks

no aspi

In winxp you do NOT use the conventional ASPI layer & may mess up some system files trying! Can't think where the MSKB articule is but just what is the problem you are having? Also don't try to install the UDF reader no ness here either. Below is copied over..

1. Check you previous installation

* run ASPICHK (included in the aspi_v471.exe )
* if WOWPOST.EXE or WINASPI.DLL show up and you are running winXP then search
for those files in your windows directory (inc subdirs and hidden files)
and DELETE them they are not needed for aspi on XP.


2. install ASPI 4.71 ( or later ) from adaptec

http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/
drivers_by_product.html?sess=no&cat=%2fProduct%2fASPI-4.70&prodkey=ASPI-4.70

Use the INSTALL.BAT to install after unzipping to make sure the
correct files only are installed.



3. Windows NT/2K/XP MUST have these reg keys added if they aren't allready,
otherwise some apps ( EAC, audiocatalyst, CDRWIN )wont show any aspi devices at all :



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASPI32\Parameters]
"ExcludeMiniports "=" "

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASPI32]
"ErrorControl "=dword:00000001
"Start "=dword:00000002
"Type "=dword:00000001


double click the included .reg file to add these if you are not
experienced editing the registry, as the adaptec installer
currently doesn't set all of these up, this is the source
of everyones problems.

4. reboot.


This has worked on EVERY XP/2K box I've tried
but, if it still doesn't work, try changing "Start "=dword:00000002
to "Start "=dword:00000001 in the .reg file then run it again,
and then reboot.
