"The firmware update works perfect. All you have to do is insert a floppy disk in the drive and let the driver do the rest. After the servie pack writes to the floppy, simply reboot. IT WORKS! Do not format the floppy and then copy the files over to the floppy, that is when it causes problems."

"Ok, that looks fine, but it wont run because it seems to be missing some things. First the Autoexec file is empty and so is the config.sys file. When I try to run the flash (either with the 1.bat file or flash42) I get an error message about missing aspi driver and look for gataspi.sys in the config.sys file. Since the config file is empty, the gataspi isn't there eithe

"Well, I haven't had too much time to play with it, but it seemed to work great. Can't figure out how... no real driver here. Just flashed the firmware... everything went smooth... and booted up WinXP, and sure enough... Windows now knows it is a CD-RW... not to mention, I burned to a coaster I made on my Philips DVD8601... and all the data was fine.

Note: If you run

"The driver works just fine with Win XP and the Easy CD Creator software, but it didn't like a CD-RW disk formated with InCD (Nero?). Anyway works just fine. TIP: Be sure to swith the CD jumper over to the middle "slave" position and then type the 1.bat, otherwise the install won't work - see install instructions. Good Luck"

"Wow, Vic baby! - How long has it been since your original post and this fix still works! It was a little tricky, had to rename a couple of lines to ID drive 0, but just look at some comments if you get hung up, it is tricky but like Vic says, it isn't that difficult folks!!! Thanks Vic, you saved me the price of a new CD burner!!"

"You just download this program and run it. It will ask you for a 3.5" floppy. Insert it and let it create the disk. Then restart the computer WITH THE DISK IN THE DRIVE. Make sure that your BIOS is set to boot from floppy. The disk will do it all for you. DO NOT REMOVE the disk until it has completed. Then restart the computer and update your driver. It's not hard, f

"Este es el bueno!. Para aquellos que no le entiendan bien después de crear el diskete de 3.5 hay que reiniciar la PC con el mismo en MS-DOS, dejar que trabaje y cuando termine sacar el disco para nuevamente reiniciar normalmente."
