Version: Adaptec ASPI Drivers (Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP) 4.71.2
"Id recommend that anyone install these...they are good for your system."
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 :).

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

Version: Adaptec ASPI Drivers (Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP) 4.71.2
"Stops system from recognising CD-R drive!!"
Summary: 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.
