i've tryed a few websites including the manafactures flash tool but just the same error , also tryed with just the dvd drive connected, and no programs runing like it say's to flash. but unfortunalty it wont play,
please help

Either that is not the correct firmware for your drive or the one yuo downloaded is corrupt. your could try downloading it again.

but it on the live update tool i got of the website stamped on the front of the drive it automatically serches for a useable update , downloads it , n then fails withe the same error ,

cud the drive be locked so it can't be flash upgraded with out me jumping a terminal or something ? or shud i just go get a new 1 , as they're cheep as chips

thanks phil

try going to the site and downloading the correct firmware yourself. I dont think the live update is working properly. you could get another one but if you do I would suggest going with a better drive. BTC is not a quality drive. go with BenQ, pioneer, sony, or plextor.
