1 Ghz TBird
KT7a RAID
2 IBm 45 GB deskstars on IDE 4 using RAID 0
512 MB Micron RAM
G450 Dual Head
WIN TV PVR
Plextor 16/10/40 Master on IDE 1
Kenwood 72X Master IDE 2
Internal 250 MB Zip Slave IDE 2
Hercules XP and KLIPSCH 4.1
WIN 2K

Here is the problem: I cannot use the Plextor to CDR/RW. If I load the software on the CD that came with the drive, Plextor Manager 2000, I get an exclaimtion point next to my CD drives and they are not accessable at all? If I uninstall the Plextor Manager 2000, I can use the drives with the generic WIN2K drivers but when I try to access the Plextor Adaptec says the drive is not accessable?
Can anyone help me?

For win2k, I believe you need to install an ASPI layer for it to work properly. There is one called forced ASPI, but I'm not sure about any links. If I find it, I'll post back.

OK, here is where you can get ASPI layer:
