dvd/r

[13leafs]

Hey there, I am having the exact same problem and from my looks on the net, it is the aspi. I have downloaded and installed the latest but they are still coming up as the wrong version. The proper versions for xp that i can see are 4.7 for all 4 drivers. I have been working on this for over a week. Maybe we can figure it out together. I am having the exact same symptoms you are. Is it possible to delete the aspi folder and then reinstall it???

Welcome to Windrivers 13leags

read here you can use the uninstaller in force aspi.

[13leafs]

Thanks I'll take a look and let you know if it worked...

[fnction22]

Well I deleted the aspi then reinstalled them to no avail, I think my problem might be with the 1.1 usb ports so I ordered a pcmcia card with 2.0 to see if that works. I have been able to burn with dvd decrypter just takes a while......

[13leafs]

The seller I got the burner from has sent me the proper configuartions for the sony so I will post them here after I check them out tonight after work......

[13leafs]

Hey again. Here is what he sent me...

Dear valued Sony Customer,

Standard controller/disable DMA/disable CD Recording
Please ensure the system is in the correct configuration:

1. Change the main controller you have to a Standard Dual Channel Controller

Open the Device Manager(open up the Start menu, right click on My Computer,
left click on Properties, click on the button labeled Device Manager under the Hardware tab
Click on the + next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers A Primary IDE channel, Secondary IDE channel,
and a PCI Controller (sometimes an Intel or SIS or VIA) will be listed
Double click on the controller, click on the Driver tab, then click on the Update Driver button
This will open up the Hardware Update Wizard, if it asks if Windows can search select No, and click Next
Choose "Install from a List or Specific Location," and click Next
Select "Don't Search, I will Choose a Driver to Install" and click Next
Under "Model" select the Standard Dual Channel controller and click Next
Click "Finish"
At that point a window will appear with Standard Dual Channel printed at the
top. Close this, but do not restart your system if it prompts you to.

2. Disable DMA:

7 Double click on the Secondary IDE Channel.
7 Click on the Advanced Settings tab.
7 Change the Transfer Mode for Device 0 from DMA to PIO.
7 Click OK

3. Disable CD Recording:

Open up My Computer.
Right click on the Sony drive and left click on Properties.
Click on the Recording Tab, uncheck the box next to Enable CD Recording on
this drive. Click apply and okay.
If a Recording tab does not appear, go to Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs
and remove all of your Roxio or EZ CD Creator software. Log onto
www.roxio.com and download and run their registry cleaning tool.
http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/EE6000061. Reboot and disable your Cd Recording.
From here you will want to reboot your system to let those changes take
place. The drive should be working at its peak after these changes.

Please visit our website at http://sony.storagesupport.com/ for all the
latest upgrades and up to date FAQ's.

This seems to have fixed some problems but now the error I get is drive wasn't ready and invalid format. I believe it is the dvd+r discs I am using as I have had several friends of mine tell me they have had tons of probs with them. Any idea what to do to correct it so the burner will recognize dvd+r?

[13leafs]

and now this is the error I get from nero...

If you believe it is the media that is the problem, then change the media make and model. Get some other make of dvd+r and test it.

Sony have lists of compatible media - but your drive is not listed. click here to contact sony or use their tech chat and find out what media you should be using.

[13leafs]

I noticed that I couldn't find that make on their website. Any idea why that is? I was trying to get the latest firmware flash and I can't find anything for that model...

[NooNoo]

Hence why I suggested you contact sony and provided you with a link....

[13leafs]

yeah, i sent them an email and just awaiting the response. Thanks again for the help.....

[13leafs]

they were no help......I've tried everything. i've tried half a dozen different software so it's not that either. it has to be the hardware. if I could find the firmware for it i'd flash it but apparently the drive is non existent....

[13leafs]

Here is what I just got from a Sony Erep..

Welcome 13leafs ...

[13leafs]

new update if anyone is interested. Found out that I could use aw-5170 firmware to update the drive because there is no aw-q170. I'll try to burn tonight and let you know......God this is painful....I also have new configurations from the seller for the nurner so i'll post them as well tonight...
