Help! Scsi CD-R undetected in Win2K

whitetip · 08-25-2004, 09:20 PM

Hi all

I have just installed Windows 2K. All is good apart from the SCSI CD-R is now not showing up anywhere. It was ok in 98se. Now, it is not in explorer, device manager, nowhere.

The CD-R is a generic SCSI 4x burner. I cannot find a brand name.
Model #: CW-7502-B
There is a barcode ID and FCC ID if these would help.

There is a device that has a yellow question mark and says the device has no driver. This device is ABP.5140. This unknown device is connected to: intel 82371AB/EB PCI to ISA bridge? Is this the problem and do I need a driver for this?

I also should mention that when installing the OS, there was a stop when the bios was found to not be ACPI compliant. I pressed F7 to disable the ACPI feature.

Windows also takes about 15 mins to start up!?!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time

ABP.5140 is a Advansys SCSI card. You could try a generic driver as I currently do know if there is one for Windows 2000. One that is installed, it should see the cd-rom.

After heaps of tinkering and trying to find suitable drivers, I went and got an IDE CD-R and all my problems are now fixed.

Ahh well now the whole systems working much better and does not take 10-15 mins at startup. That darn SCSI controller was the prob for some reason.

Thanks again, you were a big help in finding the problem danrak.
