As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it.

ASPI32.SYS & wnaspi32.dll CORRUPT

Asked by ginovino in Windows XP Operating System, Drivers, CD / MP3 Music & Players, Digital Living

Tags: WinXP SP3, aspi, corrupted

Just recently I decided to remove Roxios EASY CD Creator Ver.5.0 from my WinXp p4 machine. It came installed on this DELL Dimension 8200 3.2ghz when I bought it back in 2002. I used both the Roxio uninstall and downloaded the Roxizap.exe tool to make sure everything was removed.

I also have installed Nero Ultra 6.6 and it has served as my primary cd & DVD authoring tool since I installed it and maintained its updates since 2003.

About a year ago I installed Plextor PX-800A DVD writer. It has worked fine until just recently when it refuses to recognize or copy/record any DVD based disks.

I ran the NERO InfoTool and it claims that both my system ASPI32.sys and WNASPI32.dll were corrupt. However, the NERO WNASPI32.DLL was ok.

I spent hours on the net attempting to find a clean version of these files to install so that the DVD recorder could work again, I could not find any which were to be free.

Let me add some info about the corrupt files in question:

ASPI32.SYS version 4.71.2 (16512bytes installed) Adaptec version. Located in
C: windows/system32/drivers

WNASPI32.DLL version 4.71.2 (45065bytes installed) Adaptec version. Located in C: windows/system32

Various postings I read had numerous comments about a file called WOWPOST.exe & WINAPSI.DLL

I checked the NERO VERSION OF WNASPI.DLL and it size is 164112bytes ver.2.1.074. Is much larger than the Adaptec file. I copied it over to the replace the Adaptec version and the NERO INFOTOOL claimed everything was ok??? Go figure??? I replaced it with the original corrupted file and it remained corrupted.

In terms of the equipment, I have the CD units set up in a Master/slave relationship with the Plextor as the master and a HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8400b

I tried reading through the numerous postings on EE, though they seem to be less apt to resolve the issue. In a google search there were a number of sites which assured repair, I downloaded files from FORCEASPI forum, but dont know how to install them. They appear to be the correct versions to replace those that are corrupt on my machine. (http://radified.com/ASPI/forceaspi.htm).

I need some guidance and hand holding through this one this one.
