More info?)
Yes, I got another point. I had ASPI then and that version was wrong. What
happened is I got a software SCSI Id from www.grc.com. It gets the aspi and
scsi id for those drives. It asked me to download the driver named
"aspi32.exe" and that was not meant for XP. I downloaded the XP version but
SCSI ID could not detect the ids. Then I downloaded the wrong version as
asked and SCSI ID successfully gave the information. Now, after the
formatting I do not have that wrong version, only XP version of aspi drivers
from www.adaptec.com. So there it may just happen unknowingly. Should I
workaround and install "aspi32.exe" ? But adaptec.com written it as "Do NOT
install ASPI32.EXE with Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Easy CD Creator
4.x, or with Windows Media Player 7.0. If you have one of these applications
(or operating systems), you will be using a different aspi layer that will
conflict with the one provided in this file."
And for cd-drivers, I had only the burner software(Nero 6) and Cyberlink
Power DVD that came with cd/dvd combo drive and I was not asked for any
driver. Sony's site do not contain any info for this and driverguide had no
driver for it also. It is in Windows third party driver list and
automatically detected.
Well, I don't know how to make windows to accept udf or how to change file
system in InCD[4.0.3...something] while formatting. I formatted cd's with
InCD and found that a 702 mb cd became 530 mb only while I found by Nero that
there is only 2 kb data on the blank cd after it was formatted. When I tried
to write on that by copying and pasting files on the cd, Windows XP said it
does not support UDF file system.
So it is difficult to continue with InCD. I uninstalled that. If you have
any information on that please send that here.
Thank you very much.
