HELP - DVD drive updated with incorrect Firmware
I have updated my Lite On (LTD-166S) DVD drive with incorrect Firmware
of my CDRW drive by accident. Now the bios and Windows 2000 does no longer detect the DVD drive. I tried to force the bios to find it but this did not work. I have the latest Windows Firmware for the DVD drive but can't flash it because it can't find the DVD drive. Is there anything I can do or is the drive ready to be binned ?? |

Did you try removing the drive from device manager?

Windows 2000 will not boot up properly as it is trying to detect the
drive. Unfortunately it doesn't show up in the device manager. "Hickey, J. E. (John)" wrote in message ...

I won't bother with that as I am about to buy a DVD writer unit that
would have replaced the faulty DVD anyway. (jamotto) wrote in message . com... (bas alberink) wrote in message . com... Windows 2000 will not boot up properly as it is trying to detect the drive.

You might be able to send the unit back to Lite On and have it reflashed by them but I doubt it will be cheap. |
