Bizare fact with CD and AKAI Samples...

[Nestor]

I don´t know what´s going on, but my Asus 52X CD player drive can´t read, not even see the AKAI samples. I have tryed to move samples withing SFP, but I have to do it with the CDRW drive instead... Do you have any ideas about that?

Usually this is a problem because of missing ASPI drivers. Latest version:
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/suppor ... /ASPI-4.70
Get 4.71.2 and follow advice in readme to install.
That should do it.

Yes, put wnaspi32.dll into windows > system32 folder

Already done it... I´m going to check out if there is something wrong or a mistmach somewere... cheers.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Astroman: I tried both Plextor drives - the Akai CD-ROM could not be seen. The Pioneer DVD drive would not even recognise the Akai formatted CD-ROM as the light on the drive just kept flashing continually.

Herr Voigt: Glad you got your problem sorted by using the Adaptec ASPI layer - it didn't work here but...

After trawling through hundreds of posts here I saw reference to a different revision of Akai.dll from Creamware.

I downloaded and installed this but no change - until after a reboot and now I can see the Akai CD-ROM!

Why do Creamware not only not mention this file anywhere?

Worse still why is it virtually hidden on their website?

I had the same problem looking for the updated 2K/XP WDM driver...

For any more poor, unfortunate souls who have the same problem here are the links to the files;
