Running on Test & Create CD, it will run right to the end of the Testing phase then will fail with an ASPI error. Have tried with EasyCD3.5, EasyCD 5, Nero Burn to no avail. Reinstalled drive, tried changing the cable but still no luck. It has successfully burnt a couple of CD's since the motherboard was changed however. CD-RW is the slave to a DVD drive, DVD works fine, reading on the CD-RW works fine. Any suggestions much appreciated.	Guest (0)

Regarding the ASPI error, the aspi drivers that ship with windows are crap, but unfortunatly adaptec wants you to but somthing of theres before you get better drivers. There is a program called forceASPI around, but it is getting harder to find as it uses the adaptec drivers and they have been threatened by lawyers etc. The page is www.flexion.org This will fix a lot of problems and make less coasters.
