Kprobe,nero discspeed 4 problems

[matix]

kprobe and nerodiscspeed and well any scanning software are giving me nightmares on my sata raid config .... idk how ima do it ,,every time i start kprobe or nerodisc speed it shows splash screen on kprobe and never loads freezes the thread and never starts its killing me... ... and I cant kill the thread ,,so it renders any use of my optical drives useless until the threads killed after i restart its like locking up my sata optical drive controllers? because I cant burn a disc while a thread is locked up either .it hasnt always done this to fix something unrelated a few days ago I did a system restore and kprobe launched and ive used it on here before. so it must be compatible idk,since I installed installed this second sata drive it seems to have gotten worse . any suggestions?

Do you have the Intel RAID drivers installed? And if you’re running RAID, you might have to make it so that the Samsung is on 1 of the 2 ports controlled by the 2-port SATA controller instead of the 4-port controller. That way, you may be able to have standard Microsoft drivers installed, but still use RAID.

Umm…just to try to make sure that it’s not a randomly broken file, try adding wnaspi32.dll to the folders in which DiscSpeed & K-Probe are installed [find it here: http://www.frogaspi.org/download.htm#frogaspi ]

You don’t have any kind of software to make virtual drives or such installed, do you?

Try DVDInfoPro [the free/advert-based version: www.dvdinfopro.com/ ]

I do have magic iso installed ,will that effect it? I had a virtual drive emulator installed also but I uninstalled it after reading it might mess up burning ,but it didnt help kprobe prob,ok the intel raid yea i have my HDD’s hooked up to my primary and boot(red )sata ports and my 2 optical drives in the black ones,or secondary slots if that right?

Double check your BIOS settings to make sure AHCI is disable for the SATA ports. [Check the user manual for this].

Maybe try to switch the Pioneer and Samsung alternatively between the black and red SATA ports and see if you can find a winning combination.

In Device Manager, there should be an entry for the main controller for the 4 red ports, and an entry for the secondary controller for the 2 black ports. See if the controller for the two black ports [should be easy to identify by the device name] can use standard Windows drivers.

I’m not sure about Magic ISO. I don’t know how involved it can get in the process of detecting drives. If you don’t mind, uninstall it just in case.

Make sure you try the wnaspi32 check I suggested above, since you said that burning was not affected, and that it was only the two standalone scanning applications.

I added the file and it didnt work , nerodiscspeed locked up again ,in fact imgburn was running (not burning) when I tried to open Nero utility and imgburn wouldnt close either so i had to just restart and that hung for liek 10 mins lol.So i went into my bios and sata was config for raid. I just uninstlled kprobe and re installed it and it worked:) came up[ rather quickly too,so I guess Ill just use that for now I dont feel like nero locking up my sys again,plus I have alot of DL’s to burn tonight so ill mess with it later on tonight or tommorow ,Ill keep posting until its resolved maybe this will be helpful to someone with similar probs ,THX Alby:clap:
