Decypter specifically is not recognizing either of my two drives 1640/1655. My drives are recognized everywhere else. same with Imgburn. here is the DD log.
Months of smooth operations and blamo I have got problems. I have reflashed both drives twice each with bcdb and bsob respectfully. Any suggestions?


I 19:00:08 DVD Decrypter Version 3.5.4.0 started!
I 19:00:08 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)

Maybe DVD DECRYPTER may not be compatible with Windows Media Edition. The author of DVD DECRYPTER & IMGBURN are one of the same. DECRYPTER is no longer updated. If you're using DVD DECRYPTER to rip files I would suggest using DVDFAB DECRYPTER instead.

Could it be an ASPI issue ??

You could try using ForceASPI (thanks to Womble for the guide ).

Hope this helps

Decrypter is using SPTI according to Nolebodybetter's post.

Are you using Nero? INCD? Remove INCD if so.
