Title: Burning CD/DVD on AHCI system?
Post by: StefanZ on 2012.09.05, 14:19:43
Hello everyone,

is there a way of burning the CD/DVD media on AHCI system?

So far it seems that every burning solution needs some kind of SCSI support/masquerading, which does not seem to be working/possible on AHCI system.

St.

HI

dvddao works with drive letters as an alternative to scsi ids. From the readme:-

2. Installation
_______________

DVDDAO may use several interfaces to work with RW device. It can work
either through aspinkk.sys (included in this package) or aspirout.sys 1.1b5
(or newer) from Paul Ratcliffe or via OS2CDROM driver with support of ExecCMD
feature.
When you specify standart scsi device descriptor [bus,]id[,lun] in command
line, DVDDAO will work with aspinkk.sys driver. If you want to use aspirout.sys,
use --aspidriver aspirou$ command line switch. When you specify the drive
letter in device descriptor (i.e. -d x, where x is your DVDRW letter),
DVDDAO will work via OS2CDROM driver. Each OS2CDROM driver hash its own bugs
and stupidities ;(, so this method may not work on your system or work with
errors.


The above implies that it should work with devices using a drive letter via os2cdrom.dmd and not need scsi ids.

However, I do not have a burner using AHCI so have not tried myself - Guess that makes you the "guinea pig"  :-)

Let us know how you get on.


Regards

Pete

Yes.

If you look up the parameters (\ecs\DOC\OS2AHCI\README), you will find that /S gives you the SCSI interface that CD/DVD writing needs. You also need ASPIROUT, or ASPINKK, and OS2ASPI.DMD (same as when using IDE).

Same goes for CDRTools (which preferable can be used with DVDToys).
