I have found firmwares that will convert ND1100A drives to the ND1300, and wonder if anyone here has used it, and what the results were. Your supposed to be able to read both + and -R discs (According to etna) My HP 300n will copy original movies and games just fine, but it cannot read any DVD+R brand I've tried so far. Doesn't even recognize them.
Also, is flashing a fairly simple thing to do? I have downloaded the bootdisc, and the firmware, but just want to be sure before I commit to anything.
My 300n is an internal drive, and I have nothing externally hooked up to this pc. I have the right firmware, and I've also downloaded the boot disc. What exactly do I do with it? I put them both on a floppy, but I'm not totally sure what to do with them. If the firmware is supposed to be put into the boot program a certain way, how do you do that? Does the program work automatically when you restart the pc with the disc in? or do I need to manually run it?
