So I've run into this issue with CDRWIN and PerfectRip now, and so I thought I'd go ahead and ask the question: does PerfectRip (and CDRWIN for that matter) only scan for IDE drives? My current drive is a SATA drive, and neither program can detect it.

Figured I'd answer this question for future reference once and for all. smile

Cheers!

cdrwin has very limited support, mostly ide only, directly connected drives, no adapters! (because of outdated drivers)

For me, PF and CDTool (both by the same guy, Truman) work perfectly with these kind of drives:

-Internals connected to a SiI-680 PCI card.
-Externals connected via eSATA, JMB-363 card.
-Externals connected via USB 2.0.

Both use the standard SPTI layer, nothing special required. Try running it with administrator privileges.

I don't know anything about CDRWin because I don't run this program.

That's a bit of a bummer about the SATA adapters, but I did just buy a PCI-E card that will provide a dedicated IDE adapater. Sounds like it's similar to that SiI-680, so perhaps that will "trick" it (???). I'll post my results if it works.  smile

Also, I got the suggestion to use CDRWIN for some DC dumping from tossEAC (or rather from a guide he sent me). I have pablogm123's suggestions as well, so I was simply going to run both and see which one worked best. However, I ran into the same issue with CDRWIN not seeing my drive, so I wondered if there was something related to the SATA drivers.

Sounds like the myth is certainly "Plausible"...  big_smile

PLEXTOR DVDR   PX-755A: Attached to a JMB363 based card, externally (eSATA), it's actually a PX-755SA.

HL-DT-STCD-RW GCE-8526B and PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-107D: Attached to a SiI-680 card.

Both cards have the option ROM erased, therefore aren't bootable.

The OS I'm running is Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2, with no ASPI layers installed ( and no intentions to install them).

Just updating this thread with my findings. Things started working once I:

  • Installed my IDE PCI-E adapter (which allowed me to hookup my Plextor drives)

  • Installed FrogASPI to enable ASPI compatibility on Windows 7 64-bit

  • Updated my drive's firmware to the latest version

My SATA drive shows up on CDRWin now, though I haven't tried using it to rip based on iR0B0t's comments (above). I suspect the older versions of CDRWin are better suited for IDE drives only...which is good to know, I suppose. wink

Cheers!

Just a thing, you have installed the authentic CDRWin (the developed by Golden Hawk, not the "another one"), haven't you?
