SCSi Raid / Host Controller ERROR CODE 12. I seem to have a conflict with IRQ 00 when I try and load virtual drives. I have been playing with this all day and tried various things from the FAQ's and forum inc installing from safe mode and installing SPDT. When I load a fresh copy from your site v19.7.6022 the number of virtual drives is set to zero when this is changed I get a error pop up in Device Manager under Scsi and Raid Controllers, I am asked to reboot but when I do I am back to where I was before rebooting .. ie no virtual drives. I have Nero installed and am able to create Nero image drives without fault..

Is there any related error messages in the Event Viewer?

[Diagnostic]

Nothing in the event viewer, I replicated the fault but nothing was logged.

I get a error pop up in Device Manager under Scsi and Raid Controllers

What is this error saying exactly?

[Diagnostic]

Its a yellow flag in Device Manager .. "This device cannot find enough free recources that it can use (Code 12) If you want to use this device etc .. etc ..
The resources it is refering to is 'IRQ 00' also used by the System Timer and Standard PC.. I don't understand why a virtual drive would need an IRQ setting but assuming it does cannot this request not be changed to another non system critical setting?

The virtual drive usually uses the IRQ 09, try changing the IRQ value to it manually( in the Device Manager in the "Resources" tab of the device's properties).

Well there-in might lay my problem as I only have one setting, 'Basic Configuration 0000'. This is weather I un-tick the; 'Use Automatic Settings' or not.

If I highlight the IRQ 00 and use the 'Change Setting' tab- I get the following message: This resource setting cannot be modified in this configuration. Try choosing a different configuration in the 'Settings Based On' box. As mentioned above there is only the one setting?

Just got another error message I must have missed earlier;

Alcohol Emulation Core
Setting Device Map Failed!
Error ID3
Message Invalid Device Number Was Specified.

Think this is just related to the number of virtual drives specified (in this case 1) but the same message appears when I change the number request to 3, 5 and 7..

Why is my instillation selecting IRQ 00 rather than the default IRQ 09 ... looking in the 'System Information' it looks as though IRQ 09 is not being used..

Is ACPI enabled in your bios? (Setting normally under Power Management or Advanced BIOS Functions)

[Diagnostic]

I have:

ACPI 2.0 Support - 'Yes'
ACPI ACPI Support - 'Enabled'

Guys..

Is this likley to be a software or a hardware issue? If I were to reinstall my OS would the fault be rectified?

It may be helpfull if you install Alcohol in a clean install of Windows. Anyway your system seems to be a bit messed up.
