Not good when it says the stuff is not installed correctly

the reason I am here is to get Clone CD to work again. God knows what I installed to make it fail.

Okay bud..aspi is no good I will add to files to use.Use Aspiinst first then aspi32 to finish.Just reboot after after each file is executed.Then send me a new log.Files are atttached here and next post.

 

[woody]

last file..

 

[VIPER_1069]

force aspi also works quite well too if yer find yer having troubles with what woody has posted here

 

[roadworker]

You have to uninstall your version of aspi first,to have a "clean" 4.60(1021) version..........Use killaspi.bat from the forceaspi package and reboot,before you use instaspi.bat......just doubleclick the files to execute them...

 

[Axman]

OK woody the "check no longer shows the errors

Thanks.

For the record I did download the latest ASPI drivers from adaptec. That was the original log showing the errors.

K..Looks good now!!Hope it cures your problem.

4.60(1021) is the best.

 

[woody]

Here is forceaspi that the guys were mentioning.Someone might need it.

 

[mag046]

Nice thread...I wish I would have had this info about 6 months ago when I was figuring out the aspi issue.

Forceaspi worked the best for me, running 4.60 now

Check this one out for your reading pleasure

http://aspi.radified.com/

Good links to other sources there too...!

 

[woody]

Thanks bud!Nice link!

 

[harvester_of_ey]

They say that the later versions are full of bugs. I reverted back to 4.6

 

[Laz]

Tis true, a bug fest indeed m8.

But if using Force ASPI, which you should really, remember to do what Roady said using the "KillASPI" command before installing the 4.60 drivers.
