If your WinASPI driver layer is no longer correctly installed, then you can correct this either by updating the WinASPI drivers (Adaptec WinASPI drivers) or you can copy the original Windows 95/98 ASPI driver from the CD onto the harddisk:
The following files have to be extracted:
File name |
Target directory |
WNASPI32.DLL |
Windows\System |
WINASPI.DLL |
Windows\System |
APIX.VXD |
Windows\System\IOSUBSYS |
ASPI2HLP.SYS |
Windows |
The files can be found in the Cabinet files on the Windows 95/98 CD.
For Windows 95:
For Windows 98 (CD version)
For Windows 98 (Disk version):
For Windows 98SE:
If you do not find the given files in the corresponding cabinet files, then you can use the method given in Extracting Windows files to have the WinASPI drivers extracted.
