Hello Partners,
A serious problem has been discovered with Easy CD Creator 4 (from Adaptec)
and VirusScan (from McAfeer/NAI) on Windows 2000. There is a driver
conflict that leaves the system in an unrecoverable state and will require
a reinstall of the Windows 2000.
More information on the problem is listed below from Jerry Isaacson, our
main contact with NAI.
Thanks,
Jonathan

From: Gerald I Isaacson <gii@MIT.EDU>
There is a conflict between Adaptec's Direct CD ( part of the EasyCd
package) and Windows 2000 machines running McAfee Active Virus scan.
There are two sys files that are involved and should be renamed to
something other than .sys:
If EasyCd was upgraded to version 4 there should be a file called
cdr4csd.sys which should be renamed. I believe it is in either
winnt/systme32/iosubsys or winnt/system32/drivers
If the retail version of EasyCd 4 was installed, rename cdudf.sys in
winnt/system32/drivers.
The problem results in a blue screen error for Win2K that prevents even
Safe mode restores.
If you have any questions, let me know. Adaptec is working on a fix.
Jerry Isaacson
