<0> I know that
<1> then why do you ask to "switch"?
<1> you can't switch FROM aspi when there is no aspi used
<1> only some apps use aspi... like nero for example
<0> because I have these aspi32.dll in my system folder
<0> probably because of when I installed nero
<1> ever thought that this might be the problem?
<0> have you heard of isobuster?
<1> yes
<1> you still don't have a clue what aspi really is, right?
<0> it has in the options folder that you can switch between using apsi and SPTI
<1> anyway, you can't switch windows to use spti or even aspi to read dvd's
<1> you can only tell an APPLICATION to use one or another
<0> aspi is just a way for the computer to commuicate with the devices
<1> aspi is used for scsi devices
<0> SPTI isn't?
<1> ok... if you want to just trash-talk then leave... you asked a question, i gave you the answer... accept it or go cry elsewhere
<0> all I read was the SPTI is the standard for xp
<0> aspi was for 98 me and some other os
<1> then you completely didn't understand the principal behind it... i wonder who can't google now?
<0> and aspi is the communication driver between the optical drivers and the os
<0> the aspi driver allow cdda32 and dat2wav the ability to talk to the cdrom/dat drivers
<1> for the last time: an aspi driver is only needed for communication between scsi host adapters and scsi/atapi devices... as cd drives were originally only scsi devices, an aspi driver can be used to access most cd drives
<2> can anybody help me with my problem?
<0> I have winaspi.dll and winaspi32.dll .. I'm trying to figure out how they got on my computer if they are only come with certain software
<1> in a normal operating environment nowadays you don't need an aspi driver, except if you are A: using scsi devices or B: are trying to do something illegal (like cracking copy protections or some non-official firmware updates, and so on)
<2> it's like xp setup doesn't see any optical drive
<1> so as long as you are not using your dvd drive for illegal things, you have no need at all for an aspi driver, and windows itself won't use it anyway
<2> can you help me ta1on?
<1> and winaspi.dll and winaspi32.dll come with nero for example
<0> look Ta1oN.. all I know is that in isobuster when I have it set to using aspi drive J isn't readable. but when I switch to SPTI then all the files and folders in drive J show up. so I'm led to be thinking that maybe xp is maybe using aspi instead of spti? just an idea
<1> windows itself doesn't use them though... only apps that specifically make calls for aspi use them
<1> wrong idea then
<0> Ta1oN its funny you say those 2 dll's come with nero. I just uninstalled nero and the 2 files were left on my computer undeleted
<1> you can easily test that... just remove both dlls and reboot if you don't believe me
<1> you will find both dll's again in the nero folder if you need them
<1> yes, that's cause nero is crap... and uninstalling it will not remove everything
<0> so what do you suggest to use instead of nero?
<0> yeah nero is getting on my nerves
<1> depends on what you want to do
<1> xp's own burning functionality is more than enough for self-made data and audio cd's... if you need more, like bootable cd's and such, try magic iso maker, if you need more than that, like creating your own movie-dvd's with menu and so on, then yeah, you have to go with nero
<1> Immy, check your bios settings
<1> make sure your harddisk is detected correctly
<2> k
<1> are you trying to do a complete clean reinstall?
<2> i already did a low level format
<1> did you remove all the partitions on the harddisk?
<1> and did you try the same cd in another computer?
<2> yep - cd is fine
<2> ill remove the partitions
<1> also xp is switching to dma-mode access after the text-based setup... maybe your cd-drive is too old to work in that mode?
<1> if that is the case, you could try to disable dma in the bios completely, if available
<1> Immy, after reading some kb's: your error may happen if the cd-drive is not supported by nt or the firmware is too old/faulty
<1> in other words: either get a firmware update for the cd-drive, or get a new cd-drive
<1> also you could try booting into some dos-environment with cd-support (windows 98 cd for example) and then copy over the i386 folder of the cd to the harddisk
<1> start winnt.exe inside the i386 folder then to start setup... this will install nt without the need for a cd

<5> I have a question for someone in the room, I am an ok computer technician;Some things I have to ask for help on, and this is one of those times.; Say I happened to download a copy of all the different variouse windows in a bundled cd pack... but they come with the cd code already installed when you install the O/S on the persons machine...now I do not normally build machines from scratch I am usually fixing them and the pe
<1> 1. your text is too long... noone can read the full question
<1> 2. we do not support warez, and "a copy of all the different variouse windows in a bundled cd pack" is warez
<5> I know it is warez
<5> but
<1> 3. as the cd-key is already included it is very likely that other stuff got changed too. i.e. you can't trust that windows versions at all
<5> I did not do it to steel windows at all
<1> they could all include a rootkit by default and you would never have any way of telling it
<1> if you are using such a version to install a pc you are doing something illegal
<1> no matter if you did it to steel or not
<5> nope they come with the list of cd kleys in case you have to install them
<1> the ONLY thing that makes a windows version legit is the license
<1> and in case of oem-windows this would be this nice sticker on the pc
<5> and like I said
<5> I have those stickers when I fix them
<5> but don't have the CD's
<1> if you are fixing computers for a living you should get at least a microsoft action pack
<1> or better yet, an oem contract
<5> It is just friends pc's nothing major
<1> then you'll have no problem getting any cd you need
<5> Its not like I fix 20 or 30 a day
<1> where exactly is your problem anyway? you downloaded the pirated versions and now the keys don't work?
<1> what do you want us to do? tell you how to crack the windows version?
<5> Not at all
<5> They install fine and there the keys as said on the readme file
<6> get a replacment CD
<6> !g Replacement Windows XP CD
<6> or not.
<7> Troubleshoot Windows XP Professional @ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/getstarted/troubleshoot.mspx || "Can I create my own Windows XP Instal @ http://www.askdavetaylor.com/can_i_create_my_own_windows_xp_installation_cd.html |
<5> But from whom and you would havew to pay for that
<1> from microsoft and you pay only for shipping
<6> Microsoft.. and shipping
<1> besides... that's the whole point... you want to use windows? you pay for it. you don't want to pay for it? don't use windows.
<5> This would be perfectly legal provided you have your own install keys, as you suggest.
<5> see it says its fine
<1> if you don't have "your own install key" then nothing will make the windows version legal
<1> and we do not help with illegal versions
<6> http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;CNTACTMS
<5> I have my own install keys
<5> thats just it
<5> it is a dell pc and they have the install key right on the side
<1> then use it
<6> but your using the warez VLK version, your keys will not work with that copy
<6> http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246
<6> thats an OEM version...
<6> youi need to contact Dell
<1> exactly
<6> Dell will send you replacment media for a small charge.
<5> but I was not asked for it when I installed windows
<1> like i said at the beginning... a sticker means OEM
<1> and the versions you are downloading on the net are surely no oem versions
<6> peachfuzz you in the US?
<5> yes
<6> 1-800-873-2244Press 4 when promptedM - F 7AM - 9PM CST
<6> call them
<1> heh
<1> peachfuzz, the versions you downloaded are not the same as the version this key is made for
<1> if you want to use the license that is stuck to his pc, you have to get an oem windows version
<1> easiest way to do this is to call dell, like Phiber0pt already said
<1> or you try to find a pirated oem windows version on the net, which is very unlikely though, cause most people pirating windows sure as hell don't want an oem version
<1> if you don't use an oem version then there is no way of using the license stuck to his pc
<1> your choice what you want to do
<5> I have one
<5> this comes with windows xp home oem which he had
<1> then why don't you install that version?
<5> I was asking that all along
<5> can I do that
<1> no, i told you at the beginning already that your question is too long
<1> you asked nothing in the end
<5> well can I do that
<1> if you use a xp home oem cd then yeah, you can use the oem license stuck to his pc
<5> ok thanks
<6> jesus...
<6> I'm out.
<1> heh... cu
