Well, I got stuck with the ole 'clonecd spits the blank at me when i burn a CD' thing, so I went and searched through these forums and found a reference to ASPI drivers and using the 'safe mode' in CloneCD.
Burnt a CD fine just then.

However, I would like to know what exactly causes CloneCD not to work with its default writing method. In most, if not all cases I see here and elsewhere it is CloneCD & WinXP...has the CloneCD author(s) adressed this issue? Or has anybody come up with a solution?

Im running XP Pro with a LiteOn 24x10x40 writer. Using the 'normal' mode in Clonecd results in the blank being ejected and CloneCD tells me 'Failed to write to LTR24102b'
As I said- Im currently using Win32ASPI safe mode, but Im not sure if writing safedisc/protected cds still works....can anybody tell me what benefits I will loose writing in this mode?

Thanks
