HP 8100+ patch - Club CDFreaks

Cyrax · 10-05-2001

Hey guys

I've been away from CDfreaks for about a year (formerly known as VeeJay)

I've got a question, some time ago there was a hacked firmware for a sony CD-recorder. It enabled some types of the HP series to overburn cdrs ...

is it still available ?? where ??

There was a "hacked" sony crx 100e firmware which
made a hp7570i to a 8100i and could also be used to fix the problem 8100i had with 80 mins. In addition to this there was a registry patch which were supposed to made the 8100i capable of overburning...as far as I experienced it only made Nero say it was supported, but refused to actually do it.

Cheers

grendel, check your mail

ZaGhost · 21-08-2001

It doesn't allow overburn, but you do get 80 min cd support

I also used to to upgrade my 7570 to 8100
which also gave me 4x burning over 2x

grendel99 · 22-08-2001

thanks so much, taxman! not looking to overburn so much as to just be able to burn a few things that i have that clock in at 79+ minutes.

Hi people, I have two old cd-writers ( 7200 and 8100) the 7200 woks perfect, the 8100 have troubles with CD-RW. I would like to know if you can tell me :

First :
Can i overclock any of them?

Second:
Anybody knows the problem of 8100 with CD-RW?

Thanks and sorry for my english

Yes, posting it publicly would help Taxman. Unless it is just a file that you are sending...

Many HP firmwares here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/information_storage/software/

is98 · 29-11-2002

yah, but is it the same as the 'hack' that allows 80 min burns? mine currently burns it ok most've the time in sim mode, but doesn't finish the leadout or something, sometimes just keeps blinking for infinity till it spits out the cd

sorry to drag up a older topic but i cant get this to work.
I tried the hp flash tool and i get the same errors as others have said with the cdr4dll.dll, i d/l that file but dunno were to place it.
Also i have tried the sony dos tool and it seems to just freeze when i type the command (left it hanging for 2 hours). I even tried putting the drive in a older machine with 98 and get the same results

Any help would be greatly appriciated

Hello

I have the same problem with Windows XP, i can't update my drive because update.exe files says me : "Could Not fin an HP surestore-CD-RW drive"

What's the problem ? I must have a dll ?

Help !

nurse · 02-12-2003

Hi,

Use the sony update software updcrx21.exe with the hp8100 firmware (this has to be done off a dos prompt, u will need a windows 98 boot disk)

coolweb · 02-12-2003

sony txt files :
Firmware upgrade for Sony CRX-100E CD-RW to version 1.0n

1. The flash utility must be run only in real DOS mode (not in windows DOS box).

2. During the flash you must have not disc in the drive.

UPDCRX.EXE commands

UPDCRX filename /AT|/98 [/P|/1|/2] [/M|/S]

You must at least set [filename] and [/AT or /98].
[Option]
filename :Update filename
/AT : PC/AT compatible /98 : PC-98xx
/P,/1 : Primary /2 : 2ndary
/M : Master /S : Slave
/C : Write sequence change

The 4 possible combinations are :
1st IDE Master : updcrx21 100E_10N.bin /AT /1 /M
1st IDE Slave : updcrx21 100E_10N.bin /AT /1 /S
2nd IDE Master : updcrx21 100E_10N.bin /AT /2 /M
2nd IDE Slave : updcrx21 100E_10N.bin /AT /2 /S

Flashing the drive is done at you own risk.

What 's the difference between AT et 98 ? Software says me that my CDROM is busy

coolweb · 02-12-2003

I have try this : /AT /M /2 i think it's mean ATX ...

and he always says me under real dos mode, that my drive is busy !!!

nurse · 02-12-2003
