I am a computer novice when it comes to things like this, and would be grateful if anyone could help. It would be greatly appreciated, as I don't know where to start. I have a sony vaio pcg-k315s, and having trouble burning a data copy dvd. Basically I need to back up my music from my mp3 player, and therefore need to get it onto my computer then onto a data dvd. I have tried using Philips DVD-rw, a dvd-r of another make, and also a cd-rw. I tried to use the Sonic Record Now, and have downloaded a copy of Nero but this also failed. So assume there is a problem elsewhere - the hardware? I have pasted the log that comes up when it fails on Record Now 7. It gets halfway through burning, then fails saying error.

no recognition of your ASPI layer or ASPI layer is corrupted, try this, version 4.71 from here - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm way too much memory is being used.. try shutting down programs that are working in the background, no multi tasking, no internet, and even shut down you antivirus program while buring. you are using crappy media..... use good quality media (rule of thumb....buy the ones that are Made in Japan.) Verbatim is a top notch disk and is the only exception to this rule....some Verbatims are made in Taiwan and they are top notch! also Roxio/Sonic (RecordNow) sometimes interferes with Nero... uninstall Roxio/Sonic program(s) and run the Roxio Zapper: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml reboot and try again after you completed these suggestions. good luck and welcome to Afterdawn.
IHoe - re: the ASPI layer I have unzipped those files. Sorry for what may be a simple question, what do I do once unzipped them. Which one(s) do I need to double click?
Thanks. I have had a look at the readme but don't know how to interpret it and what part to do. I have copied it below if anyone could make sense of it in relation to my problem? Adaptec Inc., Copyright (c) 2002 ASPI Overview ======================================================= I ) Operating Systems and ASPI Files Installed II ) Changes between v 4.60 and v 4.71 III) GetASPI32Buffer Addendum IV ) How to increase the non-paged pool size V ) Windows XP Support VI ) Installation of ASPI VII) Status Codes for ASPIINST.EXE I. Operating System ASPI Files Installed ======================================================== Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 wnaspi32.dll, aspi32.sys winaspi.dll, wowpost.exe Microsoft Windows 2000 wnaspi32.dll, aspi32.sys winaspi.dll, wowpost.exe Microsoft Windows 98 wnaspi32.dll, apix.vxd Microsoft Windows Me wnaspi32.dll, apix.vxd Microsoft Windows XP wnaspi32.dll, aspi32.sys II. Changes Between v 4.60 and v 4.71 ======================================================= 1) It is important the following pairs of files have matching version numbers: (you may not have all of these files; which files you have in your PC depends on which Windows platform is in your PC) a) wnaspi32.dll and aspi32.sys b) wnaspi32.dll and apix.vxd c) winaspi.dll and wowpost.exe It is not important, for example, for wnaspi32.dll to have matching version number with winaspi.dll. Disregard any such error message from aspichk.exe. Also disregard any error message from aspichk.exe regarding files not present. 2) Windows 2000 and Windows NT4.0 Only: Command tagged queueing is enabled by default in v4.71; however, this is functional only if your Host Bus Adapter (HBA) supports tagged queueing. Check with your HBA vendor for HBA capabilities. 3) Windows 2000 Only: aspi32.sys (aspi2k.sy_ before install) remains a non-Plug-and-Play driver in Windows 2000. Once loaded, aspi32.sys will not unload. To get aspi32.sys unloaded, delete the file \winnt\system32\drivers\aspi32.sys and reboot PC. 4) Previous versions of aspi32.sys for Windows 2000 and XP may not return the proper Maximum Number of Targets (HA_MaxTargets) in reponse to Host Adapter Inquiry (HA_INQUIRY). This has been corrected. III. GetASPI32Buffer Addendum ========================================================================= FYI If you have experienced a failure to allocate a buffer (GetASPI32Buffer), you may need to do one or both of the following: 1) increase the non-paged pool size on your PC (allocate more RAM to non-paged pool), 2) physically add more RAM to your PC. 3) decrease the buffer size requested. The first thing to do is to increase the non-paged pool size. IV) How to increase the non-paged pool size ? ============================================= 1) Run regedt32.exe ( click Start->Run and type regedt32 ), 2) Edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement\NonPagedPoolSize This parameter is a REG_DWORD (32 bits). NOTE : If it is set to 0x00, the default minimum portion of RAM is allocated to non-paged pool. 3) Set this parameter to 0xffffffff (the maximum portion of RAM is allocated to non-paged pool.) Reboot the PC and try the application again. NOTE : If GetASPI32Buffer still fails; you may not have enough physical RAM in the PC, and you may need to physically install additional RAM. If GetASPI32Buffer now works, then gradually decrease the non-paged pool size ( by specifying the amount of RAM allocated to non-paged pool ) to optimize. Tips ------------------------------------------------------------- Set the NonPagedPoolSize to 0x00100000 for 1 MegaBytes; 0x00200000 for 2 MegaBytes; etc. See the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) article Q126402 (www.microsoft.com) for more information regarding setting the non-paged pool size. V. Windows XP Support =========================================================== Contents: ----------------------------------------------------------- install.bat installation batch file reg_xp.exe registry modification utility aspixp.sys 32-bit ASPI driver ( v 4.71.2 ) wnaspixp.dll 32-bit ASPI DLL ( v 4.71.2 ) aspi64.sys 64-bit ASPI driver ( v 4.70.8 ) wnaspi64.dll 64-bit ASPI DLL ( v 4.70.8 ) VI. Installation of ASPI ============================================================ 1. Run INSTALL.BAT with the target operating system command line option specified: X86 ( for Windows 98/ME/NT/2000 ) XP32 ( for Windows XP 32-bit ) XP64 ( for Windows XP 64-bit ) e.g. "INSTALL.BAT X86" 2. INSTALL.BAT will prompt you to specify which operating system to install for if you did not specify one in Step 1). a) If you are installing for X86 systems for either Windows 98/ME/NT/2000 then ASPIINST.EXE will be invoked and the rest of the installation process will be carried out. b) If you are installing for X86 or Itanium systems the batch file will invoke REG_XP.EXE to make the necessary registry entries and then copy the operating system specific files to the appropriate location. The operating system path is determined by the environment variable %windir%. For Win XP 32-bit: ASPIXP.SYS will be copied to %windir%\system32\drivers\ASPI32.SYS WNASPIXP.DLL will be copied to %windir%\system32\WNASPI32.DLL For Win XP 64-bit: ASPI64.SYS will be copied to %windir%\system32\drivers\ASPI32.SYS WNASPI64.DLL will be copied to %windir%\system32\WNASPI32.DLL 3. Reboot the system to enable the ASPI driver. VII) Status Codes for ASPIINST.EXE =========================================================== The use of the C programming convention, EXIT, has been removed completely from the source. EXIT has some restrictions which RETURN does not. EXIT allows for only the low order byte of the status code to be accessible to the calling process. The status value is available to the operating system batch command ERRORLEVEL but is represented by one of two constants EXIT_SUCCESS (0) or EXIT_FAILURE (1).
