Probably a silly question, but are you current on your HMC code? Thanks,

HA. Then, it says I should use "Enable FTP Access to Mass Storage Media", which I kinda found by accident. When I go there, it asks for the IP address of the server that will be accessing this DVD drive, so I give it an existing IP address, only to have it tell me that (A) There's no media in the drive, and (B) I can't read it anyway because the file system is...unknown. And then, after I Enable FTP Access Blah Blah it says I can Load from Removable Media. Or Server. There is also an Access Removable Media, that also says there's no actual media in there. So....hardware problem? I don't know whether this DVD drive has been used since the z114 was installed. What's the MTBF for something you don't use?
