I did it already here the reply:(
Does anyone knoes if i can patch a firmware from liteons models?
Dear customer,
We like to thank you for your inquiry.
We believe the problem might be your chipset (specially Via-chipsets) or the
busmaster-drivers. You need an 100% IBM compatible Pentium system with at least
75 MHz. This information can be found on the back of the package of your drive
under system requirements.
It might be helpful to remove the busmaster driver of your mainboard and to use
the Windows standard PCI busmaster driver or newer driver of the chipset
manufacturer. Further you should disable the DMA access for the drive and you
should set PIO MODE 3 for this drive in your BIOS. For further informations
concerning your BIOS settings please contact the manufacturer of your mainboard.
Specially Via chipsets (AMD systems often uses these chipsets) are causing
problems with some hardware products from different manufacturers. There are a
lot of articles in magazines, newsgroups and webpages reporting of problems with
these chipsets. The manufacturer of the chipset is reporting about such problems
on his webpage. The EIDE-busmaster-driver of these chipsets are stated to be the
reason for this problems. Via say at http://www.via.com.tw that there will be
newer drivers in the future.
We want to quote a text we have found on one of these webpages:
This information applies to:
· Windows 95
· Windows 95 OSR2.x
· Windows 98
· VIA chipsets
My system uses Windows 98 and a VIA chipset so should I install VIA drivers?
Microsoft has bundled full support for VIA chipsets into Win98 therefore it
isn’t necessary to install the VIA bus master driver but VIA suggests installing
the VIA AGP driver and IRQ routing miniport driver.
The main function of an IDE busmaster driver is to allow your system to take
advantage of the IDE and UltraDMA capabilities of your Hard-drive, of course you
have to have an UltraDMA-capable hard-drive. If your system is running Windows
95 OSR2 or Windows 98, there is no reason to install the bus master drivers
because the operating system already supports both IDE and UltraDMA
capabilities. If your system isn’t running an OSR2 version of Win95 or Windows
98 then you may want to install bus master drivers to take advantage of the IDE
and UltraDMA features of your hard-drive.
Windows 95 OSR 2.x and Windows 98 users are not required to install bus master
drivers. To enable DMA mode using the default Microsoft drivers enter the
Control Panel, System, Device Manager and view the properties of your hard
drives and/or CD-ROMs. Place a check in the DMA box.

Why doesn’t my Zip, tape drive, and/or CD writer drive work correctly?
Many times bus master (UltraDMA) software can have negative side effects on
devices that are not hard drives.

advantage of the IDE and UltraDMA capabilities of your Hard-drive, of course you

Please also make sure the media you are using is capable of writing at the full
speed of the drive.
