Hi, im having probs with my liteon 12101b. It will read data disks but takes a long time and will not accept blanks, it constantly accesses the disk causing the system to hang. I have a working aspi layer. Tried everything even reformat/install. Tried it on my brothers pc with no probs. Im using xp pro and everything has been ok for 9 mths. My A03 dvd burner is ok. Could it be my power supply only 270 watts?

my system = thunderbird 1400 o/c to 1550
liteon 12101b
pioneer A03
Geforce 4 mx 460
maxtor 60 gig hd
12X dvd rom
Kudoz 7 mb

THANX 4 ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS !!!!

Mmmmm...and check DMA in Device Manager. The 12101B will not backup SafeDisc 2, even with Amplify Weak Sectors (Blindwrite & CloneCD)

The onl;y ASPI layer you really need in XP is the ahead (nero.com) WNASPI32.dll copied into the /system32/ folder. Adaptec's ASPI 4.70 is unstable with many XP systems. 4.57 is the most stable and works with XP, 4.60 will also work but is only 16bit if you want a 32bit system, don't use them.

Hell Hath No Fury Like ASPI Scorned
