i think it might have had something to do with the usb card reader i have in it...everything except that card reader works. ive even swaped out headers. the usb that is on the case works fine but the one for the card reader is dead.

I wouldn't worry about the occasional screw up, it's through screw up's that we learn. If a person did everything right the first time every time then on the one time that they didn't they'd be lost. Assembling parts is a great learning tool, but trying to trouble shoot errors from failed experiments, "Priceless."

Very good advice and spot on if you ask me. :0
I've had very good fortune building computers but I do have the occasional "hiccup". lol. Building is EASY but trouble-shooting is "FUN". :D
....gm
Oh.... the trouble shooting part is only fun if you figure it out and don't destroy the "item" before that happens.... hehehe. :P

Hello guys, was wondering if you can help me w/ somthing:
I was trying to change booktype on my AD-7200S to burn compatible Wii backups, but apparently, it doesn't support it >:(
So I did some research and I came up with these firmwares. Problem is that there is a bunch to choose from, and I'm not sure which one to take.
GM, I know you're the go to guy for these things, so I sent you a PM, but I'm not sure if you received it or not.

mrk44,
This is the answer to your question from cdfreaks.com
"Explicit booktype setting is not possible for DVD+ media with this drive; however if you look at some of the reviews, they mention that the drive automatically sets DL media to DVD-ROM, to maximise compatibility". Here's a review as well.

The thing is that I'm not using DL media, just DVD+R, and I also read a post at cdfreaks.com, specifically the second post on this thread, that says the firmwares I linked to will allow bitsetting on my drive.

mrk44,
My experience with Liggy & Dees has not been the best. I managed to ruin a drive using it, and that was with GM helping me at the time, on line! The drive met all the criteria for flashing and it said it was successful. All I got was a blinking light and the drive no longer worked. Eventually I was able to recover the drive with cdfreaks software! It may just have been an unlucky day for me or something. I can honestly say that so far I've I've not had problems with any of the software from cdfreaks.com I've crossflashed a number of drives to Lite-Ons and upgraded the bios and never had so much as a minor glitch!

Russ you have scolded others for statements like that and I can't let you get away with it here. Just because you had issues with the f/w or drive doesn't mean you should condemn L&D f/w forever or for the others that might read this forum. You post a lot here and people trust your "advice". So the way I see it you just "turned off" a few people from L&D f/w and there is NO reason for that. I've flashed a few of the drives you're talking about and I've also flashed a few of the AD-7200's and had NO issues what so ever.
It doesn't mean that you did it wrong you just had some "bad" luck and I had "good" luck. :D
Please think about blanket condemnations when you say, "I won't use L&D's software again! I just don't trust them!" or similar statements.
This is similar to your feelings about ASUS!! NOT to start a mobo discussion but they make decent mobos as well as other companies besides gigabyte.
All in good learning and assistance to members everywhere. :D

GM,
You are right, and I've ammended my post to reflect that. As far as Asus goes, it was an entirely different thing. I do recommend their motherboards from time to time if it suits the need, but I won't hesitate to give my opinion if I know that a certain MB has been having problems!
Respectfully,
Russ
