Drive Not Found- Error 41

[Guest Don Williams]

Strange development in migrating from XP Pro to SP2, or somewhere along the

way.

 

I have a mix of EIDE AND SCSI devices on my main system and run XP Pro and

SCO OSR (Unix). Both OSs share two SCSI CD drives, one of which is a

burner.

 

Unix sees the drives just fine. XP Pro installs drivers for the SCSI CD

drives, however it reports Error 41 (device not found) when you check

hardware properties.

 

Drive letters are no longer assigned for these two devices.

 

I don't remember exactly where this issue developed, but had been noticing

(and ignoring) some problems for some time.

 

Any suggestions to bring these drives back to life under Windows would be

gratefully accepted.

 

Thanks,

First install the MB chipset installation utility from the mfg

(intel,amd,etc),

after,install the SCSI controller software from its mfg web site...

Re: Drive Not Found- Error 41

 

Let me see what happens when I try to find and install software for this

Intel Mother board.

 

As far as SCSI is concerned, the SCSI BIOS is loaded during boot, followed

by a search for SCSI devices, of which 5 are found, not including the SCSI

card, which is there but not identified during boot.

 

Thanks,

Re: Drive Not Found- Error 41

 

I found some Intel Utilities, including a Chipset installation utility for

my D845PEBT2 Motherboard, sort of in the "antique motherboard" section,

downloaded and installed it, but no help.

 

Then I deleted the two SCSI CD drives from the system, re-started it, and

they still come up with drivers installed, but no link to drive letters,

still error 41.

 

One more thing to try is to remove an external backup drive I added for my

network of 3 computers and which took up one of the old drive letters once

used by the CD devices.

 

Thanks,

Re: Drive Not Found- Error 41

 

I found a chipset utility on the Intel site, installed it, but still get the

error 41, even after removing and un-installing an external USB backup

drive.

 

No idea where to go from here. Board is Intel D845PEBT2 and it is carried

as an unsupported board, but they do have some software for it. None of the

software related to CD Rom drives. It was mostly for USB, Video sets, etc.

 

Help!
