I burnt a lot of dvd's here lately and had no problems with them. Now the drive wont see that I have an empty dvd in the drive. Playback of rented dvd's are fine. Using nero after I add all my data (backing up HD for format) Nero says to put in an empty dvd :blink:

I already gtt one in there. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling nero. What could be wrong and what else do I need to try?

Disregard, I flashed it with aftermarket firmware and killed it. Unless there is a way to get the bad firmware off.

I always assumed that whenever the firmware gets hosed, the whole hardware is hosed. However, I have heard of some manufacturers having rollback utilities. I couldn't give you any guarantees though.

For about 225.00 with shipping and replacement warrenty on HD for 2 years. I sure didnt need to spend any money at all, so I tried to get the best value fo money spent. Did I do good?

lol, nice catch. that would have sucked to have finally received the hard drive, and to have it be ide...
then to get the sata versions you would need to waste money shipping it back.
