Guys, I dont know if this helps, but if you have XP and having problems with ASPI, you might try this. This is a cut and paste from the author. I dont remember where I got it from.
1. Check you previous installation
* run ASPICHK (included in the aspi_v471.exe )
* if WOWPOST.EXE or WINASPI.DLL show up and you are running winXP then search
for those files in your windows directory (inc subdirs and hidden files)
and DELETE them they are not needed for aspi on XP.
2. install ASPI 4.71 ( or later ) from adaptec
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/ drivers_by_product.html?sess=no&cat=%2fProduct%2fASPI-4.70&prodkey=ASPI-4.70
Use the INSTALL.BAT to install after unzipping to make sure the
correct files only are installed.
3. Windows NT/2K/XP MUST have these reg keys added if they aren't allready,
otherwise some apps ( EAC, audiocatalyst, CDRWIN )wont show any aspi devices at all :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASPI32\Parameters]
"ExcludeMiniports"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASPI32]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000002
"Type"=dword:00000001
double click the included .reg file to add these if you are not
experienced editing the registry, as the adaptec installer
currently doesn't set all of these up, this is the source
of everyones problems.
4. reboot.
This has worked on EVERY XP/2K box I've tried
but, if it still doesn't work, try changing "Start"=dword:00000002
to "Start"=dword:00000001 in the .reg file then run it again,
and then reboot.
