When you flash a drive their is a danger that the drive may not work again.

Their are warnings all over the place especially at the web site where you obtain the firmware. Any confussion is not good especially to a novice

LG should make it very clear which firmware works with each drive. If you check their websites in UK, US, Au they are all different in small ways. Enough to give me concern.

PS: I own a LG 5163D and I do not know for sure what firmware I should use.
I wish to burn Verbatim -R 16X MCC O3RG20 printables.

This is not a problem with my NEC`s Benq`s, or Plextor burners.
