Nope ASPI layer is good...I have a Adaptec ASPI utility which tells me if its installed and good or not. Also i looked it up online and they said one easy way to check if the layer is good or not is to start a program like smartripper which will detect it and give a error. I tired that and it seems to be fine.

I am thinking the drive is bad. I have another drive that can burn at 48x I am gonna pop that in and see if that allows me to burn at 48x. If it does that means its the drive and nothing else.
