Is SCSI safe?

[Made marion]

Hi Guys,

Sorry if this has already been thrashed out ad nauseam but I'm really out of my depth here and need advice in words of one sillybull.

Have a PC with IDE drives running XP SP2. Downloaded DAEMON 403_x86.exe. Noticed something about SCSI drivers in a warning panel at the beginning of installation and so cancelled it.

I'm running a MegaRAID ATA 133-2 on my system which needs SCSI drivers. Device Manager reports it as a FGDSCSI (2003) SCSI Host Adaptor and the driver file is sgxscsi.sys.

Is the installation of Daemon Tools going to conflict/cause problems with this? If I lose access to my RAID array I lose access to all my drives except the one with the OS on it, and backing out of a mess like that is something I'd rather avoid.

Thanks.

There should be no problem, Daemon Tools works fine on systems with "real" SCSI controllers, SATA, SATA2, RAID and whatever-controllers. Of course there is always a little risk of buggy drivers, but this does not relate to a particular controller interface in general.
Anyhow in case of conflicts it should be no problem to remove Daemon Tools from your system.

Hi

Hello,
I have an adaptec scsi card that i used for my plextor cd player and cd writer. I didn't have any conflicts with it. I know i don't have a hard drive installed on it but the results should be the same. I would try it out by making a system backup before or even use the system recovery option in xp before installing DT.

I've got two systems where the OS (boot drive) itself is on a SCSI card. No problems experienced.
