well, the only thing i know is this: HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B

edit: just read some things off google, and the dell website, seems that there isnt a firmware update for my dvd drive...what a shame. bast**ds

thank you parminder. could you possibly give me instructions on how to update the drive? unless it is simply updating the drivers in the control panel. thank you. edit: yea, i dont know how to update the dvd drive. i tried looking for new drivers in the drivers section under the control panel in com...

yea, the update didnt help. is it a possibility that my dvd writer isnt a double layer writer?

thanks man. i will try that now and tell you how that goes.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/gmsteuart/error.jpg this is what happens when i try burning in imgburn and dvd decryptor, and i try using clonecd, but that doesnt even recognize the .dvd file...ive read a lot of tutorials, but i still cant seem to get this. edit: seems you cant read it...dan...

look in the backup folder on the flash. see if it got a good dump of the firmware. use firmware toolbox to open the firmware and make sure the key is good. if you have any other sata drive hooked up firmtool will not run and build your hack firmware. if you had anothers sata drive hooked up.unhook ...

I had to manually make the custom fw for the benq drive, and i have no idea what to do with the new ix.bin.

Do i put it in the root folder or cfw folder?

Do i rename it to benq-cfw and put it in root folder or cfw folder?

??

any help would be appreciated.

ok. this is what happened, i reconnected the sata cable to the closest port on my via card, and it started to work, and i got past the d1 and everything..YAY! BUT, it just stopped after it said, reading finished datasum = ??? and it didnt bring up the success prompt...what should i do?

yes.

my only problem, is i always get stuck at this 0x7f when im reading, and it never changes to D1..I just tried with iprep 006.2 and thats what happened...is not suing a connectivity kit a problem? cause i can always just hit the power swith on the xbox cant i?

yea, i just saw that tutorial earlier today, but its for dosflash32, not 16. I guess i have time to try iprep 006.2

I know dosflash16 is an older way of flashing the benq, but i cant seem to get iprep to work for me. i tried 007.3 and 005, i have not tried 006 because i believe you need vista for this?

i would just like to use dosflash 16 to flash and do everything. And the only thing i need are the dosfiles.
