I'd rather not change the settings of the regions and live with not having to flash my drive for fear of something going wrong. But excellent tutorial for someone who has no option, Thanks

hey guyz plz help me update the firmware for my SONY DRU-720A DVD-RW drive ... i downloaded the firmware from
http://sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/downloads
i checked the instructions for the update and i need help in the following,
 the instructions say "Before executing firmware update, uninstall any packet writing software, such as [DLA], [DirectCD], [B's CLiP] etc, from the PC." ..... i am having nero, alcohol 120%, daemon tools, avi2dvd installed . are these packet writing softwares ? plz provide more info on packet writing softwares and their examples.
the instructions ask me to disable [DMA setting] in Windows before executing firmware update ...... how i do this ?
finally if something goes wrong in this whole process will i be able to recover my drive or not ?
plz provide the requested info. thanx guyz. any other suggestions/tips are welcome.
and hey one more question , what is the official sony website for indian users from where we can download firmware updates and also register our products ?

and someone had asked how to detect the right firmware for dead drive , is say it doesnt take newton to see that.
Dudee , i'm certain that u can find out ur drive's model name etc.. , then download th e firmware and flash.
and well u r reeally a newbie if u donty know wwaht s flasshing and firmware.
firmware- small set of instruction (soft written of ur drive) that tells ur drive to do all activites and like bios for ur mobo it is bios for drive
flashing-updating or writing ur firmware.(common name for updating firmware and BIOS )

Re: GUIDE FOR FLASHING FIRMWARE (DVD ROM/CD/Burners)
My 2 GB sandisk flash drive has been lying dead for months now. Whenever i connect it to my PC or laptop, It shows a message that the device is not recognized. I would like to ask and gain some knowledge before i head start and try. Is flashing the solution?

Re: GUIDE FOR FLASHING FIRMWARE (DVD ROM/CD/Burners)
I have a Sony DRU-840A DVD writer but sadly there is no Firmware update for this model, neither on the Sony website nor on http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php
People, need your advise..
