Default Help! CD-RW drive in a bad state - 02-26-2005 , 12:40 PM






Hi, all

I tried to upgrade the firmware on my CD-RW drive (an LG GCC-4520B) and
something went wrong. The drive seems to be invisible to the BIOS and to
Windows, and when I try to do the firmware upgrade, the upgrade app says it
can't find a drive of the right model.

Is there anything to be done at this stage? Would the command-line version
of the upgrade program have a chance of working?

Cheers

- rick

Sounds like you killed the drive with the firmware update. If it can't
be seen then I don't think you can fix it. I might be wrong though. Be
prepared to go buy a new drive though.
