Does anyone have a Ricoh CD-RW MP 6200A and WinXP installed on his computer?

If you have this particular drive, I'm interested to know if you had a successful install under Windows XP. If you did, please e-mail me your config. or whatever else pertinent on the topic. I'd appreciate it very much!

Thanks,

Nurse

Check this thread.

I have had exactly the same issue with my SCSI Plextors. Adaptec is also a good site for ASPI stuff.

I went and downloaded the latest ASPI layers -- installed Force ASPI. I checked to see if everything was OK prior to installing FORCEASPI by using this little utility called aspichk.exe which returned all data being negative (no ASPI layer found on my system). Now that I have it installed, it comes back as OK showing the latest version when I run the utility.

HOWEVER, my Ricoh CD-RW MP 6200A still doesn't work with the latest version of Nero. DMA is checked as option... I cannot fathom how a drive which worked w/o any trouble in WinME less than a week ago, no longer works under Win XP. I actually upgraded from Win ME! HOw can a company come up with a piece of software, make such a big fuss over it, describing it as THE BEST OS out there, and lacks basic features which an earlier version (good or bad) already had.

I am in limbo here -- I appreciate the adivce you guys are giving me, but so far, haven't reached dry land. Any other thoughts on this??

Thanks,

Adrian

go to the windows update site & there's something there (can't remember exactly what update) which could help.
nero 5.5 works for me with XP!

CAlled RICOH this morning... guess what they told me?! They cannot support this drive under WinXP. It's a done deal... I cannot find that update on Microsoft's site. If anyone has the link, God bless!

Thank you so much,

Nurse
