SCSI Blacklists - or why some perfect images won't run with Daemon Tools v4

[Kitna]

My boot time hasn't changed that I can see.

Well.. I'm using a nForce4 (GA-K8NXP-SLI) and I cant get any starforce games to work..

I can unplug my drives.. goes through the protection section and BAM reboot..

I use starnightmare.. and I get the "pleas put cd into another drive" crap

I disable the nVidia parallel controller and BAM reboot..

No am i right in thinking this is due to my mounting from 2 SATA hdrive in raid 0??

Do you have the nForce IDE driver installed?

[QuazzieM]

is that the one that asks "do u want the sw drivers" or something like that??

A special note for nForce 3/4 users[/U]

The IDE controller that is used on nForce 3/4-based motherboards cannot be directly addressed by today's copy protections; as a result, SCSI blacklists don't work on those systems. If you are fortunate enough to have an nForce 3/4-based system, you should be able to run all the latest SafeDisc-, SecuROM- and StarForce-protected games with your IDE CD/DVD drives plugged in and working.

with my nforce4 motherboard, it works for Safedisc, but not for SecuROM
With Starforce, it works only on very old versions : 3.3.xx, with new versions I must disable IDE controler in device manager

I use nvidia IDE driver

is there somewhere u can just download the IDE drivers seperate??

[QuazzieM]

Thanks Methadon for your help...

But unfortantly after installing the latest drivers.. uninstalling the games.. removing sf and then reinstalling..

I still ge the "Please insert the POP3 drisk into another drive"

and when I try to disable the parralell controller or disable ata in SFN my system reboots about 25% into the protection checking

The problem with rebooting for people with nvidia RAID devices should be fixed in the next version of DAEMON Tools.
