I think I've figured out, it has to be on master, as an LG CD writer is on Master right now, and it told me that . It didn't update the DVD either . All I have to figure out is, what command can I put in the bat file, so I can flash it on the Secondary IDE?? I managed to get the 0102 flash update . The files included in it were a bat file , with the main flash update file, and the flashup . exe file itself . It doesnt tell you a hell of a lot in the bat file . Just that it executes the flash update file and 2 /C / 0 as the commands to actually flash the DVD . It would be nice, if they told u what the different commands are/mean . It doesnt even tell you WHAT commands are available even from DOS! (booting from a floppy) . LG were no help . They didnt even answer! So, can anyone tell me any info as above?? Thanx	Spacemannz (808)

295318	2004-11-23 20:07:00	I had to search online for the different commands for this flashup command Since, I couldnt find anything on the LG site . These are: ie: flashup (name of flash . dld) (0,1,2,3) /C / O 0 (zero) after the dld file means primary master IDE 1 means primary slave IDE 2 means secondary master IDE 3 means secondary slave IDE The bat file had 2, which was the secondary master, BUT the DVD was on Secondary slave . BUT all I did was put the flashup command, and the flash . dld onto floppy . Boot from floppy, and type: flashup (name of flash . dld) 3 /C /O That was it . It identified the DVD, which was on the Secondary slave . Then I told it to flash it . It did . Then I went back into windows xp, to make sure the DVD STILL worked . And it did . It got updated/flashed to 0102 . It was 0100 before . I dont know what the /C and /O mean tho . BUT it works fine .	Spacemannz (808)
