| LG ODD Online Firmware Update Hello everybody! I am not sure if it is new findings. I read from a local magazine that an online firmware update tool for LG drives can be downloaded from: http://www.lge.co.kr/library/opendat...e=lgfw1.06.zip which supports writers from 4081B to the latest 5163D. I did get it and tried it. All way through the installation and execution, the program messages were in English. It showed that my 4082B was supported. But then to a point of online checking, it returned a message in words that I couldn't read, which I guess were in Korean.  I am not sure if it was telling me that there was no new firmware available yet (since A208 already installed) or something else.Anyway, it will be a useful piece of tool for us the LG drive owners if it works as stated. |

| Re: LG ODD Online Firmware Update I have removed it, I don't like alerts that I cannot understand - what if it asks me if it is OK to format my hard drive? LG really should pay more attention to the part of the world that doesn't speak Korean. |

| Re: LG ODD Online Firmware Update I also felt uncomfortable about the prompt which I couldn't read. I hope LG can fix it soon. Live firmware update/notification will be useful and convenient. By the way, when will be the 4165B coming out? I just can't wait to get one!  |

| Re: LG ODD Online Firmware Update I used the Firmware update to update to A104, but why in god's name would ANYONE leave software like this running memory resident after they upgrade ? All these hardware and software companies that want you to keep running updaters like this 24/7 for updates that generally will occur 2-4x per year max are simply nuts, the only people crazier than those who design such software are those who leave it running.... |

| Re: LG ODD Online Firmware Update I missed this thread before. The message's in Korean because it's like a beta version for South Korean customers only. http://www.lge.co.kr is only for South Korean domestic users. When LG is ready to release in English, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and other languages, it will be probably after fixing a few bugs and inconveniences. Don't install it yet but for tests of the program itself.

| Re: LG ODD Online Firmware Update I just picked up an LG GSA-4166B Drive. It comes bundled with some software, the the ODD Online Firmware Update software tries to connect, then it pops up a message saying, "Run-Time error '7': Out of memory". This cannot be true, as I have a P4 system with 1.024 GB RAM, running XP SP2 (all up to date), 250GB SATA HD, etc. The firmware in the drive is version 1.0 -- does anyone know of anything newer, or how to back up the firmware that is there? |

| Re: LG ODD Online Firmware Update Well, many of us have/had negative experience with the LG ODD Online Firmware Update. I would recommend uninstalling it. It is much better to check the official site time to time for an update. And much more safer, btw.
