Motherboard: ASUS p4C800-E (Didn't work. Recognized drive, but no flash)
Motherboard: Dell 9001 (successful flash, had to turn on 3rd sata port in bios)

Hitachi 47D (from a Nov 2005 mfg date)

Media: Memorex (Ridata) DL 2.4x (from RadioShack, very expensive, oof)

Backup didn't play. Get dirty disk error. Tried hard drive trick.

Mobo: P4P800E-DLX - No problems.

Burner: LG GSA-4167B - DVDInfoPro does not like this drive, used Nero CD/DVD-Speed for bitsetting

Media: FujiFilm 2.4x - Having problems with this media, extremely long load times and sometimes games are not recognized. Ordered some Verbatim's and I will followup once they arrive that it was the media and not my burner causing the disc reading issues.

Dell with PCI Via Raid Chipset.. Newegg $14.99 Syba w/Raid
Pioneer DVR-109
Verbatim +RL
Hitachi 46d

Working fine on some backups but takes some trying to get them to boot.

Used Modeb 2 wire trick to boot to windows to flash. No problems recognizeing in XP with LATEST Via XP drivers (do not install the raid controller softwrae. Just drivers.)

MOBO: EVGA 133-K8-NF41
BURNER: Pioneer DVR-111D(DVR-710 Best Buy)
MEDIA: Verbatim DVD+R DL Burned @ 2.4 CloneCD
360 Drive: Hitachi 46D Flashed with C4E Firmware

Booted Burnout Revenge from dash, no soft boot tricks at all.

Exact same image burned with NEC ND-3540A gave error, soft boot tricks would not work. Took everyone's advice and went to Best Buy and got the Pioneer drive. Save your money and get it from NewEgg. It's half the cost there if you are willing to wait.

anyone tried a NEC 6100a flashed to 6500a? or just a straight 6100a for starters?

(it's a laptop drive)

Pertaining to the LiteOn SOHW series...are people using the stock firmware for burning success or are they updating to anything special?

Case and point, I've got a SOHW-1693S updated with firmware from here :

http://codeguys.rpc1....patched-cf.rar

The readme states:

Code Guys xCxx Quality Patched 3S Firmware

xCxx stands for:
x Model code
C OEM code = Code Guys firmware
x Code Guys version number (0..9, A..Z)
x Base version number (B for xx0B etc.)

This firmware has been design to improve the quality of burns when using +/-R media at 6x to 16x burn speeds. It uses a WOPC (Walking Optimum Power Control) technique that adjusts the OPC at fixed points during the burn.

Versions marked with "sonyid" have the drive name changed to match that of the Sony DRU-700A and are not based on the Sony VYxx firmwares. Aside from the difference in the drive name, the "sonyid" versions are identical to the regular versions. These "sonyid" versions can be useful if you have locked OEM software that will work only if your drive bears the Sony name.

This firmware is not designed to allow you to overclock your media past the manufactures rating. In fact it requires you to use your media at the limits imposed by this firmware. Changing the write speeds of media in this firmware will seriously limit the firmwares capabilities to improve quality. However should you decide to overclock media anyway, this firmware will still perform better than the stock firmware.

This firmware has already been crossflash patched for 1673S users, has a faster LED flash rate when burning and has the following read speed changes:

+R/-R = 16x
ROM/9 = 12x
+/-R9 = 8x

No media burn speeds or strategy changes have been changed.

This firmware doesn't appear to alter the setting of the booktype. I'm not 100% positive of that, though.

Has anyone else used this firmware version? If so, what results have you seen? To be safe, should I just flash the stock/OEM firmware back?

Granted, I know I can check for myself at the expense of a DL blank...I'm just curious if anyone else has gotten results.

PS...I like boobs.

PSS...Apologies if I'm taking a figurative "dump" in someone else's thread.

Mobo: Asus p4c800 deluxe using slax cd
burner: pioneer dvr-108 flashed to dvr-108dx for auto bitsetting to dvd-rom (www.rpc1.com for info)
media: verbatim at 2.4x
hitachi drive v46d

i used the slax cd to get into mode b and it didnt load the whole way it stopped saying somthing bout irq 5 so i reset and booted windows and it found the drive!

my first flash attempt went flawless no errors at all.

every backup boots perfect using the hd/av switch trick.

i think they work better then the originals

anyone know if the drive can read dvd+r dl burned at higher speeds?
