Hi

I want to update my DVD (Hitachi GD 5000) and the firmware program to do so is a *.exe (I don't remember the name). I think I must run that program on DOS session. Is it right? If yes, how to do that om WIN XP (pro)?
How to upgrade the firmware?

Thanks in advance for your help/tips

Regards

Get a bootdisk (www.bootdisk.com is a good place to look, I suggest a Win98 boot disk) and put the file on it. Boot from the floppy and run the file. Voila!
 
Hi Zedric

Thanks for your help.
I found out that the *.exe program does a boot diskett with the firm ware flash in it. :)

Thanks a lot

yeah, any info you're going to find on your optical drives will be on the drive, itself. you'll most likely have to slide them out and look at the label on top.

Why don't you do a search with Google.
I just did a search for 6HU.exe (that's my firmware version) and it brought me to the Acer homepage. :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
