I have that as part of the 4.7.1 download.It says i have ASPI but it still says i have no ASPI layer when i use ClonyXXL.I have looked at a CD using ClonyXXL and it says it has bad sectors.Will it copy?

Bad sectors can be a deliberate means of copy-protection.
Just read the outputinfo of ClonyXXL careful and use the suggested settings for your burning-program (Use CloneCD or Alcohol 120)
