I have the exact same drive as you I just got the firmware fromhttp://codeguys.rpc1.org/dvdrw_overview.html just use any codeguys firmware for your drive and it will allow bitsetting, then i downloaded the bitsetting software from the lite-on website to change it to dvd-rom.  works 100%.


Thanks a lot  smile.gif

Lite-On drives which do support bitsetting still don't *support* it like other drives do.  Rather, they do...but Lite-On does bitsetting/booktyping in a different way.  To my knowledge the mode has to be set in the memory of the drive.  Anyways, Lite-On drives need a specific app called the LiteOn Bitsetting Utility.  That should fix your problem.
