I have done further testing of the multimounter problem.
Evidence leans me to believe that multimounter does not work with the particular drives in Win 2000 SP4.
Drives are:
SCSI CD-ROM Plextor PX-32TSi, with latest firmware 1.03, connected to Adaptec 2940UW.
ATAPI CD-RW Plextor PX-W4824TA, with latest firmware1.05, problem also occurred with firmware 1.04, connected as Master to Primary IDE Controller.
To eliminate the possibility that previously installed Roxio software might have been the cause of the problem with multimounter, yesterday, I did a clean install of Win 2000 into the J drive. The J drive had no other files.
I then installed IE 6 and all crucial updates to IE and Win 2000, as well as DirectX 9.0b.
Only other software installed was:
1. Drivers for USB 2 card.
2. Scanner drivers and software.
3. Norton Auntie Virus 2003.
4. Eudora 5.2.1.
5. Lexmark printer drivers.
Before I install other software, e.g., Acrobat 5, VB 6 Enterprise, VS .NET 2003, ZipCentral, etc., I decided to install:
Nero 6.0.0.11
InCD 4.0.1.21
Multimounter
Unfortunately, multimounter still does not work.
My gut feeling, and I do have a big gut, is that multimounter does not work with the two particular drives. As I understand it, these drives are widely used.
The following is the output from Info Tool.
