Read Mode doesn't work with Nero ASPI

[ssjkakaroto]

Hi there LUK, for some reason when I choose Read mode using Nero ASPI layer, Imgburn doesn't detect Label, Imp ID nor File Sys, so when the image is created it's not supported by Windows.

When I choose SPTI everything works fine and the image created works ok.

Is Nero ASPI lacking some functions for Read Mode to work?

 

TIA

Is this only after you have read disc.

 

As mine picks up Imp Id and label

 

Will read disc to ISO to fully check

 

which version of wnaspi32 are you using ?

The resulting ISO is fine as i just opened it in shrink

 

latest wnaspi32

ftp://ftp6.nero.com/wnaspi32.dll

 

Unless you actually mean neroaspi for 95/98/me [with you mentioning SPTI I Assumed2000/XP] and therefore you should get the latest wnaspi32 and paste it into your system32 folder overwriting the one in there.

Nero ASPI doesn't like working with anything other than Nero - well, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

 

Even low level driver sniffing shows that it does weird things.

 

Just stick to SPTI.

 

If you can't do that, try the Adaptec ASPI or FrogASPI (the latter is an SPTI wrapper anyway).

 

Basically the 'Read' command is just having it's buffer filled with complete rubbish - hence ImgBurn isn't able to parse the filesystem.

 

EDIT: The one I tested was 2.0.1.74. Perhaps the .68 version (as used above) is ok. Perhaps they're actually doing it on purpose to stop it being used with other Apps?

[dontasciime]

This is the version I was using

I had just updated to latest as well after reading that disc in so decided to read again using the latest and it's working ok for me, This is using USB2 Pioneer 109 and different chipsets/hardware may affect how it runs.

I still prefer SPTI though

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Ah, perhaps it's related to other drivers etc on the pc.

 

If I run ImgBurn in a VMWare session on the pc that doesn't work normally, it works fine.

[dontasciime]

I had to try as I had only just updated it to latest then you posted and I thought that would be typical after telling someone to update to latest to find that Ahead had screwed up so I needed to check it still worked as they do F.O with their drivers and software before deleting the previous functioning version I had been using. When I say using I mean Ignoring until SPTI chucks out a Semaphore Timeout Error.

[ssjkakaroto]

dontasciime/LUK: I'll post my log and test both versions of ASPI when I get home, thanks.

 

PS: I've been using ASPI because sometimes SPTI fails to get exclusive access or it just makes the drives not read anything on other programs (I've posted about this a long time ago).

Switching to ASPI doesn't solve the exclusive locking thing, the feature just isn't available under ASPI, hence it's never attempted.

 

It you think about it that way, just turn off the exclusive locking option in the settings - of course that's not something I actually recommend that you do, but then nor is using ASPI!

 

FYI, I found the root of the problem, the Nero ASPI doesn't always seem to like memory allocated using 'VirtualAlloc'. Without changing anything else, I can switch the call to use 'malloc' instead and it works fine. Go figure!

 

I think only Nero could explain that one - and of course they wouldn't because the dll isn't meant for use in other burning apps.

Hey dontasciime, what's the password for the file?

[dontasciime]

sorry bout that
