Let's try the KISS method before we end up with an ID ten error



http://www.hugzzz.com/A0812001.129
http://www.hugzzz.com/UPR111D.exe

Save both of them files to c:\ then run the UPR111D.exe file, if it asks for which file then point it at c:\A0812001.129

Re: DVD Writer
 

still geting available target not found ,I got those two files on my desktop is that ok cheers

Re: DVD Writer
 

From what I can gather you can't flash them using the command line utility when it's on USB, the ONLY way will be to remove it from the external enclosure and plug it in to an internat port..

Sowwy..

Re: DVD Writer
 

Probably YES, though I would follow Zing's excellent post #10 which includes the link, there might be an issue with OEM codes but follow the instructions and you should be fine

Re: DVD Writer
 

thanks lads I am really chuffed with all your help but I am not sure how to upgrade the firmware in the Samsung, as its the only one I am useing at the moment and I dont want to be whithout it, if it is at all possible could you explain more clearly what I need to do to upgrade it,I got the file on my desltop but when I click it it just opens and thats that,I dont understand the Instuctions thats with it if I could only upgrade that one that would be great thanks take care best regards Roy.

Re: DVD Writer
 

I am reluctant to go into anymore detail we can not make it any easier than we have already made it. If you want to post me the pioneer ill put it in a machine and update it if you wish short of you taking it to someone I do not think you are going to be able to do it :) no offence mate but some people are better off leaving well alone :)

Re: DVD Writer
 

thanks ill leave the Pioneer for the moment but I think ill have a go at the other one ,cheers lads thanks for all your help I really apreciate all you have done take care best regards roy.
