XP Pro SP2 recognizes incorrect drive...

[cycleman77]

Four days ago, I re-formatted my primary hard drive and re-installed Windows XP Pro SP2. I didn't realize the problem until yesterday. I went to burn a CD and Nero kept coming up with a SCSI error. I reinstalled Nero, still had the SCSI error. I downloaded Nero 6.6, but I still got the same error.
From previous experiences, I remebered that I sometimes had to disable direct memory access for my optical drives (I think Windows called it PIO or something). I went into System Properties to fix it and I saw "SCSI" in the device names:
Pioneer 116 SCSI
Liteon 52327S SCSI

I have never had this problem before. I have uninstalled both drives, then re-installed them. I have done firmware updates. I have installed NForce driver updates. Nothing worked.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks...

Mine are like that, too, but it hasn't caused a problem. My SATA hdds also appear as scsi. I wish I could help ya.

You installed the nVidia SW IDE drivers (pic of SW IDE driver option). Switch your ATA controllers to Microsoft IDE drivers and the SCSI misnomer will go away.

Is the device nero is picking up an external drive by chance? I know it has problems with those.
see this thread for what I mean:

Switched the drivers and it all works.
