Are you sure it's I/OMagic? Looks like a Lite On burner to me. Have you tried that burner on another computer? That error seems like an incompatibility between your computer's USB chipset and the enclosure's USB chipset. Also please post your Filter Driver Load Order (look in ImgBurn's Tools menu).
The firmware you're trying to flash is this one? Could you try the firmware update using another computer? As a last resort I guess you could take the drive out of the external enclosure and plug it into a desktop computer to apply the update.
Well as far as the Manufacturer is concerned, "I/O Magic" is whats printed on hard shell, (I also have my doubts) but when i downloaded the f/w from codeguys.rpc1.org, i found it as a Lite-on optical drive, so i really dont know what to think. As for the burning on other pcs, Ive burned (on this pc and my laptop) cds, dvd movies, and even xbox (first console) iso games many times, just now had a problem with x360 games. And yesterday i tried updating f/w via another computer, but same problem occurs, the Firmware Flasher box that says, "write flash", does not highlight, and cannot click on it. So I will take your advice and open the drive to connect it to my pc, and try to update. Just a quick question though, Is this "Error" a connectivity and/or incompatibility problem? Because like i mentioned earlier, ive been able to burn many times, just never xbox 360 games......will wait for advice....Thank you Mmalves, I appreciate the help and your patience.....
