#45 — CD-RW failure to initialize

Hi All,


Bear with the longish post but I've tried to include as much
as possible.


I'm attempting to backup the system (Warp 4, FP13) to 
upgrade to v4.51.

Plan A is thwarted by the fact that the system will not 
operate the 
CD-Writer correctly.  The system is as follows:-

	SCSI HA 1 - Adaptec AHA-2944UW - BIOS enabled
	SCSI HA 2 - Advansys ABP-20 - Narrow, BIOS not enabled
	SCSI HDD x2 - on HA 1
	SCSI Teac 532s CD-R - on HA 2, LUN 3
	SCSI Ricoh MP7060S CD-RW - on HA 2, LUN 4
	Intel 10/100 NIC - unconfigured
	Aureal 2 sound card - unconfigured, no driver loaded

After Warp has booted-up the Writer has it's green LED on 
all the 
time when no CD is present (the CD-R does not).  This makes 
me 
believe that it is a hardware problem but I am unsure as it 
might 
be the default for a Ricoh drive (i.e. the light is 
constant).  The 
red LED always stays on all of time (when a CD is present), 
never 
less than five minutes, usually always on.  The properties 
notebook 
of the CD-R will appear on selection but not for the CD-RW 
(SYS0039 The ?: device is not ready).

When the system was built the CD drives operated as they 
should 
but they were then on an Adaptec AHA-1522 card.  I had not 
burnt 
a CD for some months and it was only when I needed to 
back-up 
for the update that I noticed the problem. I've swapped the 
Writer 
for various others (all SCSI) but the issue persists and 
I've also 
swapped the Adaptec HA for the Advansys, again the result is
the 
same.  Cables ditto.  Maybe a motherboard problem?

The only thing that might have some bearing is when going 
into 
Selective Install the CD-Rom Device Support section shows an

entry of "Other".  I would have thought it should have been 
something like "SCSI II".

Here is how the BIOS boot initialisatiom looks:-

	Onboard USB Controller = IRQ 15
		Slot 2 - SCSI   = IRQ 5
		Slot 3 - Multimedia Device = IRQ 9
		AGP VGA       = IRQ 9 
		Slot 4 - Ethernet = IRQ 10
		Slot 5 - SCSI   = IRQ 10


The system reckons:-

  IRQ Level =  1  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    KBD_0

Hmmm.... IRQ 9 not listed, though I've no driver installed 
nor has sound been configured.
	   IRQ 10 not listed - this should be the secondary SCSI HA
(BIOS not enabled).
	   Also the NIC but that also is not configured until I'm 
on cable.

Deleted many in the listing which did not appear to have a 
bearing on the issue.
Resource.sys, I notice, is dated 17th September 1994 - I 
would have thought
that newer stuff would need a more up-to-date aware 
sniffer/manager.


Any thoughts?

Why not just zip uo the boot partition (zip -9rS) and then copy it to 
a USB stick?

The USB package is, hopefully, part of the v4.51 upgrade 
disk set.
Until I can install this upgrade I don't have access to USB 
unless I
zip it up and transfer the zip file to a  FAT 16  drive and 
save to CDRW
from there.  I presume if zipped with paths it will preserve
the long
file names within the zip structure and Win 98 won't 
truncate any.

However, that is not getting me to the nub of the problem of
why
the Warp system is not abling the Writer as it once did.

The zip file should not have problems, even in DOS, as long as its 
name follows the 8.3 convention.

As to why the drive isn't being enabled - could it have died?  They 
don't last for ever. 

Another possibility if your motherboard has an IDE header is to use an
IDE CDRW drive.  That would need ASPIROUT.SYS and the Dani drivers but
should work and would do what you want.

Yeah, it might have to come to this.  I'll have to do a test
burn under
Win 98 to make sure it's not having seeing problems.

Tried six others, same result.

Yes it certainly does but it is not ulilised as it is an all
SCSI system.

The only problem you might encounter with win 98 is the size of the CD
- I'm not sure it can cope with the 700 MB CDs.

My two servers have 4 SCSI hot swap hard drives each yet the CD is 
connected to the IDE header and I've never encountered any problems 
with that.

Thanks for that heads up ....... I'll use a 650MB CD.

Are you saying that you have a SCSI CD-drive on the header 
or an IDE?

Sorry, I wasn't as clear as I should have been.  We gave up on SCSI 
for everything except the hot swap HDs years ago as we couldn't find 
any any advantages, in fact price was a distinct disadvantage.

Well, this appears to be wrong. I just tested my Win98 system (IBM 
ThinkPad A22e), and it can use 700MB CDs, with no problem. It can also
use DVDs, so I would doubt if there is a limit, unless the drive 
itself can't handle the size for some reason. I didn't test writing to
the CD/DVD.

Doug, my statement was not so muvh about reading but more abour 
writing CDs.  The writing is also very much about the drive as well.  
A friend has three computers with win 98 on them and there is no way 
he can burn anything over 650MB even if he uses 700MB CDs.

Interesting. I must try to find time to test that. Of course, it may 
depend on the specific drive, and software, that is being used. I 
don't even remember if I have CD writing software installed in Win98.

I didn't have any writing software installed in Win98. I use DVDDAO in
eCS, with no problems, or limits. I found ImgBurn, and installed it 
(not bad for a windows program). I don't have enough data on that 
machine to fill a 700 MB CD, but I was able to write a little over 200
MB to a 700 MB disk. I did notice something about 650 MB, but it 
flashed by so fast, that I don't know what it really said.

The bottom line is, that even if Win98 has some limits, eCS does not. 
It has been many years since I used warp4, but I can't see why it 
would have a limit. I used IDE drives, and the Dani driver, in those 
days. I notice that the OP has SCSI drives, so there may be something 
that needs to be updated in the SCSI system.

I am not sure that this helps much, but I don't think that a limit in 
Win98 has anything, at all, to do with warp4.

Warp v4.5 (v4+fp15) + DVDDAO handles 700 MB CDR fine, at least with a 
relatively new DVD burner

Yes; it is not immediately clear whether you are using CD-R or CD-RW.

Following my own experience, and the advice of others here, I abandonded CD-RW 
and now use only CD-R in the same hardware.

I'm  not getting to the point where media is an issue (I 
think).

When I select the CDRW dirve icon I'm getting a SYS0039 
message.
Meaning the drive is not ready (with a CD-R or CD-RW disc 
present).
I believe that one of Warp's drivers - probably a .DMD - is 
not taking 
control of the device correctly.  It seems to me that there 
might be a
conflict of ownership with the ASPI layer and the DMD.
