[H] 3550a firmware update ?

2006-07-30 Thread FORC5
new fw for my burner but the instructions are weird:
never had to do any of this b4
currently too much trouble

Pls note following instructions for update procedure:

Connect drive to secondary IDE channel as Master

Disconnect all slave hardware from IDE secondary Master

Use standard UDMA-2 IDE cable

Update in Windows Safe Mode

Update without DMA mode, under Windows XP  2000 in the device manager - IDE 
ATA/ ATAPI controllers, you can switch from DMA to PIO mode 

Disconnect all external USB/ FireWire devices. 

Deactivate virusscanners, active desktop programs and packetwriting agents
