Re: Firmware failed

Bring the drive back and get it replaced with a non BTC drive as your just going to have too many problems, when its BTC its usually destened for the bin within a few months. This company seems to have as many problems as Artec(Ultimate Corpoartion) has with their dvdrw drives.

Hi and welcome at CDF,

bad to hear that the flash went bad. Have you tried to recover the drive in DOS. If not, then you should probably try this.
