Upgrading HP firmware - 8/31/2001 10:02:16 AM

I have an HP cd writer plus - 8200 series (it shows up in the bios as 8200a)
Serial number info shows me that it's a cc4495 model. The firmware is 1.0f.
I downloaded the new firmaware for 8100 series - 1.0n hacked.
I tried to update the firmware but it won't do it.
The update.exe program will show me the message to close all files and windows applications, I click on next, and what I get is an error message saying that it wasn't able to find an HP surestore cd-writer !
Direct CD shows up in the tray, and the bios is seeing the burner. What am I doing wrong ?

did u install Direct CD form the HP INstall cd rom? this is the only way I found to do an HP UPdate, it needs to find original installed program from the HP disc.
