Troubleshooting Firmware Updates
If you have problems performing a rewritable drive firmware update, check the vendor's readme file
or website for help. In addition, here's a tip I've found useful: If the firmware update fails to
complete, there might be interference from programs that control the drive, such as packet-writing
programs (InCD, DirectCD) or the built-in Windows disc-writing feature. To disable resident
software, restart the computer in Safe Mode and retry the update. Restart the system normally after the
update is complete.
