Windows XP driver issue?
I have a problem with a WinXP system that has an Iwill KA266Plus
motherboard. After setting up the system it all seemed fine till I installed Nero 6 and the latest Iwill drivers from their site. Since then the DVD and CD-RW drives are listed as SCSI devices and the DVD drive won't work properly, keeps giving I/O errors and takes ages to read a cd the 90% of the time, fails. Both drives will only rip in musicmatch jukebox at 1.0x analogue and fail when trying digitally. Any ideas? Can someone point me in the direction of a better driver? Is that the problem? I know Nero 6 comes with imagedrive which makes a virtual SCSI dvd drive. This is installed but no enabled. Thanks MJC |

I hope you installed the motherboard drivers before Nero.

Only the ones that come with Windows XP. It found them ok, didn't prompt me
for them. Is that a problem? "Ed Light" wrote in message ... I hope you installed the motherboard drivers before Nero. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ |

VIA motherboards are supposed to have the VIA 4-IN-1's installed. Usually,
the latest ones, except in some cases of Win 9x. http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=300 -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ |

My motherboard is a KA266Plus with an ALi Magik 1 chipset.
I presume I should use the Iwill drivers not the ALi ones? The Ali website says to use motherboard manufacturer drivers. "Ed Light" wrote in message ...

Oh, my mistake, an ALI. Yes, I would do what the manufacturer says.

"MJC" wrote in message ... How can I uninstall my current IDE driver safely? If it's the one Windows installed, I don't think you need to. You can look in the add/remove programs and see if there's a driver there. After installing VIA drivers you use the install program to remove them. Or you could use the driver rollback feature in device manager. Note that there are disk drive drivers and IDE drivers. Best to get advice from an ALI expert. You can also try comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage and also see if there's a newsgroup for your motherboard maker in the alt.comp.periphs.mainboard groups. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ |
