Burner problem, shows up as SCSI instead of IDE

[Guest]

My CD & DVD Burner both suddenly show up in the device manager as SCSI
devices not IDE. None of my burner programs will burn now. Just burned
a DVD & CD the other day. Had this problem before but not able to
remember what I did to fix it. Have uninstalled devices, no fix. Nero
gives error msg about SCSI device and so do other burning programs. Any
help would be great.

Running XP Pro

Thanks

Where is the CD/DVD burner installed? Is it connected to the IDE/ATAPI
connection inside the PC? Did you add an extra PCI IDE/ATAPI adapter card?

If the CD/DVD burner is showing under SCSI devices, then it may be connected
to a port other than the standard IDE/ATAPI ports of the motherboard.
If it is connected to the standard IDE/ATAPI ports, then you may have a
problem with the ASPI layers system. Check with Nero's InfoTool utility.
Then you could download the missing ASPI of Adaptec and Nero's web sites.
