:smileygrin: :smileygrin: thanks

after i execute the file and read the instructions.. to unplug this unplug that, turn off this turn off that... i start to think.. well i can burn cd,vcd,dvd, watch vcd, dvd etc etc with no problems at all... so why take the risk.. so

... i decided not to update it :smileygrin: :smileygrin: wise moved..

Heh. I did, some time ago, on A317. And some reading/writing issues were solved. So It was worth for me. And in fact it's simple thing to do. Just turn off anti-virus if you have it run .exe file, and reboot after that. Nothing bad should happen.

Wise move indeed. I installed it the other day on my A397XP and now the eject button no longer works and I can no longer burn Dual Layer DVD's


Wish I'd read this board first:smileysad:

Anyone know how to rollback the firmware?

Hey I installed the new firmware today on my A317S. No issues it works like a dream. Hopefully it will solve the issues with the reading and spinning up of discs.

Fingers crossed

Hey well tested the abilities of my drive and what do you know its worse than what it was. Looks like I will have to call support and see if it can be sorted out:smileycry:
