I just installed Win 7 and I'm having trouble with my 2 device writers and it says that they are scsi writers and can't burn any cd/dvd's. I found this advice online but don't know how to do step 2) and 3).Help!!

This is what the advice said:

Due to wrong Nvidia drivers Windows XP sees a IDE writer as a Scsi writer.To solve the problem:
1) download new drivers from Nvidia site
2) remove the DVD/CD writer from the Windows XP hardware list
3) remove Nvidia videodrivers (if present)
4) restart
5) install the new drivers
After this Windows will see an IDE writer...and no more SCSI command aborted errors!

Do you have an nvidia video card?

Check add/remove programs list for nvidia driver software, remove it.

but will this affect my video card or anything else for that matter? I have NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT dual SLI configuration.

It sounds like the advice you found says it is a problem with the old Video driver you have and to upgrade to a latest driver available.

This requires you to first remove the old driver, reboot the system and install the new driver, reboot again.

Download the new driver before you remove the old one, have it handy for installing after the reboot.

thanks, but the advice doesn't necessarily mean that this is my problem..do you know anything about {scsi command aborted} in nero? it worked fine when my O/S was xp..

[alexinneedofhelp]

and also after installing Windows 7 it auto downloaded NVIDIA control center so I guess my drivers are up to date already.

You may be using a version or Nero that incompatible with W7, most likely is the cause.

looks like that was my problem.. Nero 6.6 not compatible..strange..anyway, thanks my man!

There is a free burning software that is pretty good, if all you need to do is burn media.
