Hey all, just had to do a fresh install on a friends PC using XP because he had a nasty virus that was unremoveable.

Now i'm nearly all sorted with all the software installed that he wanted but I cant get his CD writer going?! On the last version of windows it was on e: now however there is no sign of it anywhere now with XP.

I have tried add hardware but it wont find anymore CD drives. :confused:

Anyone any idea??

The CDRW is a Ricoh MP7060S and I have no disk for it atall. :eek:

Many thanks. :)

halfway down dunno if it's of any help though, im still eating my hat from boot disks :D

Cheers Cookie but thats for WIN 98, I need it for XP. :)

Crypt

Is it a scsi writer, have you installed the scsi card.

Si

Aspi drivers from Adaptec ?

I always have this problem when rebuilding XP, try installing a CDR app if you can

LOL no. :D

How do I do that? I've actually seen that somewhere....

Scci driver not installed and XP cannot find the driver..
:confused:

Sonic, I have Clone CD installed that hassent helped?

Crypt go start-> control panel then click system -> hardware tab -> device manager

see if you've got any scsi cards installed there, i've looked around online and seen a couple of post that say it's a scsi device, someone else i'll have to help you now i need my rubber ring and arm bands :D

Cheers Sonic, This does say for 98 though is that ok?

Finally all aspi are funcional but what do I do now? The e: is still not being found...

Btw, mail addy is username@aol.com I thought you had it already.:)

Crypt

Your drive uses a scsi interface so you'll need to set up scsi card before it will even see the the drive :)

Si

Anyone know if this will work??

Failing that Si, YWHM. :)

It says they are for OS' running under vmware.

You should be able to get the correct scsi driver from the manufacturers site.

btw, no virus is unremovable
