The Cdralw2k service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

What exactly is this? And where does it go? And will I be able to find it on the win2k cd? and where? thanks.

"Q: I have Adaptec EZCD Creator 3.5 installed on Windows 2000 and...

A: According to Adaptec, this is very bad. Uninstall Adaptec 3.5. If you really want to keep Adaptec 3.5 on W2K, only install WMP from the normal download site. If you do install the Adaptec CD-Burning Plug-in on top of Adaptec EZCD Creator 3.5, your system will not boot. Your system will not start until you use DOS to get rid of c:\winnt\system32\drivers\cdralw2k.sys and c:\winnt\system32\drivers\cdr4_2k.sys . The 7.0.0.1956 release of WMP7 prevents you from getting into this situation by blocking install of Adaptec if any incompatible software is found."
