Hi mmalves, thanks for the links..
Hmmm, is it safe to do the firmware upgrade ? What risks are in this process ?
This BD Drive is hard to find here (I import it), and need a bit of assurance here before I doing this...
Hi Lightning UK,
Thanks for the software you've written, it's an excellent software.
'Quick format is a complete waste of time'? Meaning... ?
