SMART Burn protect against crashes?

[Xidus]

I just got a new CD-RW drive and it's a Lite-on. It has Smart Burn which as far as I can tell needs support from the mastering software to be used. It came with Nero so I'm using that, and it seems to protect from buffer underruns. But will it help if my computer crashes in the middle of a burn? If so please tell me how.

SMART-Burn stands for Smart Monitoring & Adapting Recording Technology for Burning.
It runs through several checks before and during the burning process to ensure the best possible burning quality at the fastest possible speed. Among those checks are the media condition checks (that checks the brand and type of CD-R/W media that is being used) and the vari-speed burning checks that enable the drive to speed-up or slow-down the burning process according to the CD-R/W media quality.

SMART Burn protect against crashes?

I have a drive with Smart Burn and when i try to burn a damaged .bin file with CDRWin it still BSOD's WinXP.
I can repeat this on several systems so reckon it must be a bug with CDRWin.
From this experience i would presume Smart Burn will not help reduce BSOD's FWIW.
