Ok lets see...

a) What kind of PC system you have?
b) Where have you installed the NEC drive, MASTER/SLAVE at which IDE BUS?

As far i know Windows flashers cannot flash drives connected to external USB/FireWire boxes

I'm running AMD Athlon 2600, win xp, and tried primary and secondary ide with jumpers on master.

what firmware version is that???
don't expect your drive to be identified as 2510A with the firmware you applied... it will still be recognized as 2500A, but will have bitsetting and DL support... So, i think you already flashed your drive with success...




bass4040 -> RE: Help can't flash Nec 2500A (6/20/2004 4:59:00 AM)

How can I flash it, if no flashing occured. I got the error msg -Target Nec nd-2500a not found- as soon as I launched the windows flasher program. No dual layer support listed in Nero info tool. I think the 1.N5 was the firmware that came with the drive.

I'm going to use this as a spare drive and buy a true 2510




kogos -> RE: Help can't flash Nec 2500A (6/20/2004 5:12:43 AM)

try applying the official 1.06 or 1.07 firmware then use the flasher from herrie... that should do the job... I think that the flasher only works from version 1.06 and above (you will see the same thing mentioned in nec's site, the 1.07 firmware can be applied only in a 1.06 drive...)... Good luck...

bass4040 try what kogos said and tell us if worked [:)]




bass4040 -> RE: Help can't flash Nec 2500A (6/20/2004 10:17:06 PM)

It didn't work. Is it possible someone flashed a generic dvd drive to make it look like a 2500a? I was told it is OEM, but there is no label on the drive.




emperor -> RE: Help can't flash Nec 2500A (6/21/2004 4:46:20 AM)

I have asked Herrie and told me that OEM drives only can be flashed under pure DOS




bass4040 -> RE: Help can't flash Nec 2500A (6/21/2004 8:30:01 AM)

I got it flashed in pure dos. Thanks. [:)]




rj -> RE: Help can't flash Nec 2500A (7/6/2004 10:58:40 PM)

Curious to how you flashed it in dos, i booted a win98 bootdisk, and ran the exe i dl'ed and it said it could not be run in DOS.

Am I missing something here?

Thanx, and sorry for the newbness




rj -> RE: Help can't flash Nec 2500A (7/6/2004 11:12:13 PM)

alas im a tard and didnt realize there was a DOS download.

answered my own question.
