Adaptec ASPI Drivers (Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP)

Id recommend that anyone install these...they are good for your system.

by: CableguyTK on 25-Jan-2006 01:25:50 PM

Pros: They are free.

They are from the authority in cd drive management (hell, they are the ones who made Easy CD Creator for Roxio to buy out).

They should/could improve drive performance in Windows.

Cons: Not necessary. Not to say this is a bad thing, but you don't NEED to download them to get things to work in your system.

They probably wont install properly, which is where the program ForceASPI comes in: force_aspi_18.w.interia.pl

They require a reboot :).

Won't Even Run

by: genius55 on 28-Sep-2005 02:45:44 PM

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Claims it runs on xp, but when i try to run it, it says that "the file is not suitable for running on MS-DOS and Windows Applacations". Might try using ForceASPI

Stops system from recognising CD-R drive!!

by: scott2096 on 25-Jun-2004 09:00:46 PM

I installed it as per the instructions. Now my PC cannot write to the drive. There appears to be no way to uninstall or revert to the old driver. I'm still trying to find a way to fix it without having to reinstall my entire operating system. If you are currently able to burn to your CD-R drive, then do not install this!!! You will not be able to burn afterwards.

by: projectxxii on 03-Apr-2005 04:21:13 PM

Pros: None

Cons: This is bad bad bad bad. never use unless you REALLY need it. As all the other reviews said it messes up your computer. Download forceASPI and run, in this order: dumpaspi.bat, killaspi.bat and killdump.bat. If i have this wrong plz write the correct directions in a new review :-)
