| I wasnt sure where to post this but as i'm not sure if my problem is related to the drive or Nero i chose to post it here. Picked up a SH-S183A the other day. Back home i was gutted to learn that the drive couldnt be flashed to burn +media as dvd-rom. After reading a bit here on the forum i thought fine, ill just have to burn my dvd-backups using Nero. I'm using Nero 7.5.0.2 and when trying to follow http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=159 i cant get it to work. Basically i dont have the booktype option in the "choose recorder" dialog window  I thought that maybe a firmware upgrade would solve it but that didnt work either. I tried to use the sfdnwin.exe 3.25.6.0 but when trying to load the S183A.SB02.patched-rpc1.bin i got the message that the firmware is incompatible with my drive. Same thing with the official SH-S183A_SB03.bin Am i'm doing something seriously wrong or am i right in thinking i shouldnt have bought this drive ? I'm a big time newbie (and generally a bit dense  anyway) so please explain what i should do. I'm going crazy, i use my burner mainly backup movies and coz of that i really ned to be able to burn as dvd-rom./#LOUDmouth# |

| Okay then. Get the identification tool from here: http://www.samsungodd.com/eng/LiveUp...FWvercheck.asp and check OEM code again. Seems, there is a VIA SATA controller involved. See also this thread: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=222460 There are problems with this controller and at least Samsung SATA drives preventing installing newer firmwares. About your bitsetting issue (this should look like this: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...89&postcount=2 in Nero Express 6.6), maybe the latest Hyperion Pro drivers from viaarena.com could improve things. You might also try ImgBurn, if there are similar problems with bitsetting (perhaps there is something wrong with your Nero installation). Michael |

| OEM code 1 Seems just like in the other thread you linked to. I'm not sure there is any newer sata drivers. I reinstaled my system a couple of weeks ago and i'm pretty sure i used the latest drivers. But i'll look in to that. /#LOUDmouth# |

Is there any possibility to return the drive and get the IDE version (182D/182M) instead? Provided, there are unused PATA connectors on your system. Michael |

| I would be very careful with any via drivers, the default xp sp2 ones for pata are the only ones I trust, however sata is a different story http://www.asrockamerica.com/Products/K7Upgrade-880.htm Quote:
I have that southbridge myself

B.t.w. would flashing the drive in a system with a different sata controller work or maybe buying a cheap pci controller card (with anything but VIA controller)? /#LOUDmouth# |
Posted: 12-09-2007 - #15
| Well, i just tried both the Falcon & V-raid and managed to update the driver. Now it says VIA Raid Controller - 3149. But still no difference offcourse. Think i'm gonna try to flash the drive in my brothers computer. /#LOUDmouth# |

| Hi, Silicon Image cards should work also, but since most of them come with RAID BIOS, they have to be flashed to non-RAID BIOS before they can be used with optical drives. Concerning the VIA chipset: At the moment I am not aware of similar issues with drives from other manufacturers. Maybe this is a Samsung-only problem, but I am cautious. Note to myself: Seems, some search has to be done Michael |

| So, i'm going down to the mall tonight to buy a sata controller card. I just want to make sure that its only VIA controllers that cant be run in ide-compatible mode. Is ALI chipsets gonna work ? /#LOUDmouth# |

| The cheapest card i found was a Silicom Image 3512 and it works perfectly  I got to choose raid or non-raid drivers when installing and choose non-raid. It was a bit expensive though, about 34$. But the burner finally functions as it should so ........ Thanks for the help guys, u rock /#LOUDmouth# |
