FlashTool V3.7.1.2 to update The firmware for Philips Optical Storage Drives
Special notes:
1)
After downloading the flashtool, remove (if still available) any older flashtool from your
Hard Disk Drive, before you install the new Flashtool.
2)
Before you start reflashing the drive, determine the current Firmware version in your drive
and write down the newly required firmware filename from the list below.
This is important to be prepaired, when you are requested to select the correct
Firmware version from the list of Firmware programs, displayed on the screen.
3)
In some cases the Flashtool indicates the need to disable the "Auto Insert Notification".
When that happens, the Flashtool will ask you to reboot the system.
After reboot, start the FlashTool again.
4)
In specific cases the Flashtool will turn off DMA in your system.
When that happens, the Flashtool will ask you to reboot the system.
After reboot, start the FlashTool again.
The FlashTool will update the firmware of the following drives:
