Windows NT 4.0 ATAPI Driver Issues

Certain ATAPI drivers may cause the HP CD-Writer to perform incorrectly on some NT 4.0 machines. Changing the installed ATAPI driver to the standard mass storage controller driver (atapi.sys) that comes with Windows NT 4.0 should resolve the problem.

To change to the standard mass storage driver go the Control Panel, double-click on SCSI adapters, and select the appropriate IDE controller. Then click on the Drivers tab, select the currently loaded driver, and click Remove. Then click the Add button, and select the standard mass storage controller driver (atapi.sys).

The drivers for which problems have been seen include the Intel PIIX driver (piixide.sys) versions less than 2.04, and the Iomega ZIP IDE/ATAPI driver version 1.1.
