Subject:CD Writer>No Device

"No device" is showing in options>prefs>cd>write drive
yet both the DVD and CD are showing in Acid explorer and both play cd's fine.

I am also unable to extract audio from CD - the drives are showing - but no tracks in the extract window.

I re-installed ACID and re-installed the CD/DVD drivers from device manager. I had no winaspi.dll... so I ran an adaptec winaspi installer.

still "No Device" any suggestions?

I am running acid 3.0c on a HP VL800 with w2000 pro. With Hitachi DVD/CD gd8000 and a HP CD writer cd16 - both internal.
Thanks in advance --

Hello, Does the writer drive show up in the adaptec software and are you able to write cd's with it?

Are you doing all this logged on as administrator?

Yes, I installed Acid as administrator and I am logged in as administrator.

HP's MyCD recognizes both drives - but I have yet to actually write to a CD with it -- I will give it a try.

I do not have adaptec burning software loaded. I found a post that recommended loading an ASPI manager to solve the "no device" problem in Sound Forge. I had no *ASPI* file in system32, so I found the adaptec winaspi installer and gave it a go.
Thanks

No problem writing CD's with the HP MyCD software (even with the adaptec winaspi32 installed)-

Acid is still unable to extract CD tracks and does not recognize the CD writer. (with and without winaspi32 installed)

Any other suggestions? Thanks Sean

This may sound stupid, but have you tried selecting your CD burner via the drop-down menu next to "Write drive"? By default (at least for me), ACID always lists, "No Device." All I have to do is click the drop-down menu and select my Yamaha burner.

HTH,
Iacobus
