SCSI Problem

[Guest]

I built my system a few years ago:
ASUS P3V4X Motherboard
PIII 1GHz CPU
512MB ECC SDRAM
ATI Radeon 64MB AGP Video
Soundblaster PCI512 Sound
3COM 3C905TX PCI Ethernet
SupraExpress 56i Sp V.90 ISA Modem
Adaptec AHA-2930CU PCI SCSI Adapter
USB 2.0 PCI
WDC WD600BB 60GB Hard Drive - Boot Drive - NTFS IDE
WDC WD300BB 30GB Hard Drive - Fat32 IDE
Iomega ZIP 100 IDE
Seagate STT20000A 20GB/40GB Tape Drive IDE
Toshiba CD-ROM XM-6201TA SCSI
HP CD-Writer+ 9200 SCSI
Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD305 SCSI

Windows XP Home SP2

I get the following error with my SCSI drives: Device/SCSI/aic78xx1.

The SCSI drives just grind away in sequence (like a grinding hard drive or
floppy drive).

I just did a clean install of Windows XP and downloaded all available
Windows XP updates. Then I installed the USB 2.0 TPP drivers and hooked up
my USB media reader and USB 2.0 hard drive enclosure.

I can not right click on any of the SCSI drivers without the grinding action
going on for several minutes before the drop down menu appears. When I
insert a CD of any type in any drive, the drives just grind away for a few
minutes before the they quit doing anything and a few minutes later the
system locks up.

Sorry for the long details. Any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks!

Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight each of the USB HUB devices, Action menu, "Uninstall", then restart Windows, to
find the device drivers again automatically.

Thanks for the tip. I tried that with no impact.

I welcome any other ideas.
