Unfortunately I only have this one computer here in my house.
have you got possibly a different drive you could use as a tester or get hold of another instead of throwing the whole pc out of the window? Sounds as if your drive is on the way out if its not updating the firmware or as other people have said, test your burner on a friends pc as its just an allimination process. =)
The update was successful!!! However,
I noticed that the booktype still reads DVD+R and not DVD-RW. Shouldn't the booktype reflect this change in order for the write to be successful?
Additionally, I heard that it is also recommended to enable my Drives bitsetting. Where can I activiate this setting?
One more question...even the though the firmware update was successfu does the Firmware HQ update # have to match my External hard drive model # that i am writing onto? I noticed that my model is a DVR-X126Q. And the one recommended by Lightening UK was a DVR-216R.
Actually one more question once i've made this firmware update onto my drive could I still take back the drive to the store and get one that you guys recommend even though I updated firmware onto it? Thanks!!!
