Cant Find Drivers For This Bastard Burner

[Evil Gemini]

A freind of mine just bought a burner for his pc and i instaled it for him with nero and it was working.

One of his mates come along and installed easy cd creator 4 (wich we all know fucks your pc up if its XP) and then it kept saying its disabled drivers from loading bla blah blah.

I uninstalled easy cd creator and got the registry fix for it to stop bugging me.

WIndows XP only sees the burner as a cd rom and i cant find any drivers for this burner anywhere.

The burner is a justlink (aopen crw 5224).

I have tried everything and their is absolutley no drivers foir this thing.

Nero doesnt even see it.

Anyone know how to fix it ??

Windows does not use unique, individual drivers for CD/DVD-Roms and burners. it just uses generic Microsoft drivers that come as part of Windows, and it uses ASPI drivers which come with Win95/98 but not with Win2000/XP. so it is possible that installing or uninstalling a program has affected the drivers.

Nero (and many other burner programs) requires ASPI drivers, so try installing Adaptec's ASPI drivers. there are other ones, but Adaptec is regarded as the best.

Have you tried System Restore to set it back to a date before Easy CD Creator was installed?

Delete it altogether in your device manager. Windows will reinstall the drivers upon booting up.

@ 3RA1N1AC i downloaded them and still doesnt work. I ran the checker and it said its not installed properly. I even ran the checker on my pc and it said its not installed properly and their is nothing wrong with my pc it burns fine.

@Virtualbody1234 their is no restore point before it was installed. I wish they didnt install that shit program.

@harrycary i did and its the same

Thanks for the help guys.

If i cant figure it out ill just format it because ive been trying to fix it all damn night.

Curse you easy cd creator

Try the Win9x trick; boot into safe mode, remove device from device mangler, shut down PC, physically unplug CDRW drive, boot into Windows, shut down PC, plug in CDRW drive again, boot to Windows.
Failing that, uninstall/reinstall Nero.
WinXP doesn't use an ASPI layer IIRC.

yeh i agree with smurfette, nt based systems dont use aspi layer, you can get a fully working demo of nero6 from NERO.COM which is easily cracked which should sort it.

yeah it does. it just doesn't come with one. but it only uses two of the four files included with Adaptec's ASPI layer, so the checker will report that it's not installed correctly even when it is.

Smurfette ill give that a try. I have uninstalled and re installed nero like 10 times.
