I downloaded firmware Version 1.04 from this site, for my DVD burner. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1930

It is on my computer, but my latest error log said I still have Version 1.01.

The installation instructions said:
- copy files to floppy
- boot in DOS-mode
- launch GCAFSCDN.EXE

My laptop doesn't have a floppy drive, and I am using Windows XP. How can I install this firmware upgrade? If I double click the GCAFSCDN.EXE file, it goes into DOS-mode but then I get this error.

Any help appreciated!

Originally, I tried the Fujitsu-Siemens OEM drives where I got the error in my first post.

Then I did the Dell one, and it says The version of the LGE file does not match one of the drive.

I'm not sure where else I can go to get a firmware upgrade. :/

If you go to Nero info tools it should tell you your drive name and model

You could burn a bootable CD with just DOS on it, or use some type of external drive.

You could find info on the web about how to do a bootable CD and add the file to it. Nero Burning ROM has some options for burning a bootable CD, and if you can download an image file you should be able t use it.

Check this site, which I just found or look at others you choose. On some sites that offer Firmware, there are windows and non-windows versions of the firmware update utility. (I can't vouch for the site.)
