BUMP! i need this drive to work

Cus now it reads itself as a CD drive :S

IS this dvd burner only DVD Minus DL..

I bought a 20pack of DVD Plus DL discs and it doesnt read it at all..

Someone help.. and my drive is still reading its self as a cd drive.

and is there a program to where i can remove a firmware ?

I installed the 3500 firmware and that was the wrong one, i need to get the 3450 1.3c

Dude, you have crossflashed your drive into an 3500 - isn't it logic that 3450 firmwares cannot work afterwards?!???

Hi
You'll have to try with Liggy & Dee's Dell OEM Firmware 103c, This should convert back to 3450.

Man, how many double-posts will you do ...?

Ok thanks for your help.

I do now have the Dell OEM firmware 1.3c

But i dont know how to install it, i read the readme. but no instructions.

Seabound07 2006-04-02 11:55:32 UTC #17

Ok i got the commandline working.

i has the list of stuff like -scan
-dump etc

and i read the binlfash troubleshooter on the site.
still no go.

Just use the GUI version. It's probably easier for you.

Seabound07 2006-04-02 16:14:37 UTC #19

THANKS LIGGY!

it worked :)!

Wait a second. It says that 3100, 3450 & 3500 share the same hardware. Therefore why did you have problems with the 3500 firmware? Did you use the drive converter tool to convert to 3500 before flashing the firmware?

I suggest you try again & convert to 3500.
