79548 2002-09-15 01:16:00 I recently uninstalled "roxio ez cd" and it took out both of my rom drives. ( a dvd and a cdr/w).
I removed the cdr/w drive and put a normal cd rom drive in its place to install the drivers for the DVD drive (which are on cdrom) but windows wont recognize either drive(cdrom or dvd).
They appear in the device manager with an exclamation mark and when I check their properties I get the following message:
"Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)"
I've checked the bios and both drives appear ok in their.
By the way I am running winXP pro. 		dchip (1426)
79549 2002-09-15 02:09:00 Have you checked that one is set as Master & the other as Slave? Both on same IDE channel I assume.

79550 2002-09-15 04:11:00 I stripped the system back to just one cdrom drive that I have tested in another machine plugged in and jumpered as primary slave. It works fine in another machine (win98se) but will not work in this one, in fact no rom drive will work in this one. I don't know what that "Roxio" program has done but whatever it was it made a good job of it, my system is FUBAR!!
Nothing I try will work not even system restore.
Can anyone please help me as I'm stuffed without a rom drive???? 		dchip (1426)

79552 2002-09-15 04:47:00 Not sure about XP, but have you run Add new hardware from Control Panel. If not found try manually from the list, May be listed under "other"

79553 2002-09-15 04:55:00 Yes have run the "Add new harware" wizard. It has the rom listed (with an exclamation mark next to it) and when I follow the wizard through it still has the same error message:
"Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)" 		dchip (1426)

BUG:
Users of CD/DVD (re)writing software (Roxio/Adaptec Easy CD Creator + DirectCD, Ahead Nero Burning ROM etc) may bump into error messages such as "No ASPI devices installed" while using any of these utilities.
This is due to a flaw into the Adaptec ASPI Layer settings.
ASPI stands for Advanced SCSI Programming Interface, but this applies to ALL (E)IDE/ATAPI/SCSI CD-R(W)/DVD-R(W)/DVD-RAM drive owners.

FIX:

Start by installing the newest Windows NT4/2000/XP Standard ASPI Layer drivers from Adaptec (version 4.71 is current as of this writing).
Direct download [534 KB, free].
Make sure to use the INSTALL.BAT file provided with the package to copy ONLY the appropriate drivers for these Win32 OSes: ASPI32.SYS (in %systemroot%\System32\Drivers) + WNASPI32.DLL (in %systemroot%\System32).
Open Windows Explorer and delete (if present) WOWPOST.EXE + WINASPI.DLL from %systemroot%\System.
Reboot when done.
Run ASPICHK.EXE (also included in the ASPI v4.71 package) to make sure you have properly upgraded to v4.71.
Now copy & paste text between lines below into Notepad and save this as a .REG file [name doesn't matter, only the extension does :)]:


-----Begin cut & paste here-----
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Aspi32]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Aspi32\Parameters]
"ExcludeMiniports"=""

------End cut & paste here------
Finally, double-click on the REG file in Windows Explorer.
Reboot one more time.
Done.

NOTE: If still having problems using your Roxio recording software, replace 2 with 1 on the "Start" line above, and then merge (run) the modified .REG file into your Registry one more time.

Roxio CD software is more trouble than it is worth. Use Nero in the future and you will not suffer from any of the bugs that Roxio can throw, all of which cripple your PC badly. 		John Grieve (367)
79555 2002-09-15 05:19:00 Sorry this is the second part of the fix which deals with your exact problem. From the same site

BUG:
After installing/uninstalling Roxio (Adaptec) Easy CD Creator v5.0x, v4.0x or older and/or DirectCD v3.0x on/from your Windows NT4/2000/XP system, your CD-ROM/CD-R(W)/DVD-ROM/DVD-R(W)/DVD-RAM drives may get suddenly lost. :( The CD/DVD drive icon(s) may disappear from My Computer, Windows Explorer and any other disk/file browsing app. Also, if you try to view/open/run any CD/DVD based folder/file, you may encounter several popup messages linked to one of these error Codes: 19, 31, 32, 39 and/or 41.

FIX:

But these BUGs can be fixed by hacking your Registry.
You must be logged on with Administrator rights to be allowed to edit the Registry.
Fire up Regedt32 and go to:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Make sure Read only mode is disabled in Options menu.

BACKUP this Registry key BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES:
Highlight it -> click Registry from the File menu -> select Export Registry File... -> browse to your desired location -> type a file name -> click Save.
Now look in the right hand pane for these 2 REG_MULTI_SZ Values: "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters". Right-click on each one, select Delete and click OK.
Close the Registry Editor and restart Windows when done.
The catch is that after doing this you may also lose your CD/DVD recording capabilites in WinNT4/2000/XP. :(
In this case, check the Roxio Support page for software patches/updates/fixes, and install the current ones applying to your particular versions(s).
These Roxio FAQ pages may also provide some help:

Easy CD Creator 5.0x Basic.
Easy CD Creator 5.0x Platinum.
Uninstalling and/or reinstalling the affected Roxio software may also solve this issue.
If none of these methods work, then open Windows Explorer and (double)-click the REG file created when you backed up the Registry key above to restore the original values. Restart Windows when done.

Both of these bugs appear together quite often hence the 2 different fixes may be required. You probably just need this one but the second may appear after fixing this one. 		John Grieve (367)
79556 2002-09-15 06:43:00 Wow that was some scary sh#@! (the registry), but hey it worked:)
I used the second fix that you posted John and it has done the trick.
It is sooo good to have my rom's back, may we never be parted again.

Thankyou so much John for your slick solution and indeed to everyone who took the time to respond to my S.O.S:)

What can I say ...pcworld has done it again!!:) 		dchip (1426)
79557 2002-09-15 06:57:00 John deserves the monthly prize for that. I've only ever used Nero - thank god.
