Burning/SCSI/Antivirus Advices for WinXP Users

if when using Nero to burn you have repeated buffer underruns (with burners not supporting BurnProof/JustLink), make sure you install the Adaptec ASPI driver 4. 60 build 1021 or later. The build 1017 and earlier versions have a bug that make Nero's ram buffer feature gobble up ALL your ram.

The build 1021 also corrects a SCSI bus timeout error with Adaptec 29160 cards (other models untested) wich forces the SCSI card to reset the bus when stressed a bit too much

I thought Nero was using its own ASPI layer.
so does it realy matter if you have an older version of adaptec ASPI driver?

yes and no. Nero is retarded, i have found better performance using it when using an installed ASPI layer and have found worse performance when not using one. It is supposed to use internal ASPI but having an external one installed causes me less problems so i just use 4.16.1021 of adaptec's ASPI layer.
