DVD DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE(S)
This is my first time on this forum. I find it hard work trying to find information on a particular issue.
I have a DVD HL-DL-ST DVD+-RW GSA H73N drive in a 2 year old Inspiron 530 cabinet.
I am aware of a recent firmware update for the drive.
Does anyone know if it can be successfully applied without problems?
Can the firmware be reset to its original settings if the update all goes pear shaped?
If so, how might I go about doing that (resetting the firmware)?
thanks in advance.

Hi, Brian:
99% of all firmware updates go off without a hitch, but there is always risk. If your system is under warranty and the f/w update ruins the drive, Dell will replace it. Yes, you can flash firmware back to older versions if needed.
Perhaps I should ask if you are having trouble with the drive.
