I get this error whet I run the firmware:
C:\@work\aa>FLASHUP.EXE 42L1122b.dld
Drive Firmware Update Utility Rev. 3.2
(C) 2001 Hitachi-LG Data Storage, Inc.
Download file information:
File Name :42L1122b.dld
Vendor ID :HL-DT-ST
Product ID :RW/DVD GCC-4240N
Firmware Revision :E112
No CD/DVD dirve model HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4240N. (2)
That's trange because I do have such a cd/dvd drive.
I ran this utillity from my hard drive aftre I copied from floppy. The reason is I don't have a floppy and a CD rom at the same time, they use the same module location on my DELL Lattitude c640 laptop.
But I don't think this is the problem. The system information recognize my cd rom as ID IDE\CDROM HL-DT-ST_RW/DVD_GCC-4240N_______________D110____\5&2040CED5&0&0.0.0
Any ideeas?
Thank you.
