BD Lite-on player question

[brianw1967]

Hello all. After completing my second build I have run into something strange. I have a lite-on bd DH-401S player connected sata to my gigabyte mobo. The drive is seen in device manager as a lite-on drive. When I navigate to cd/dvd in DM it shows:

Atapi BD 0 DH401S ATA Device

I downloaded the firmware update from lite-on and when I try to exectute it, I get:

No matched drive detected
This utility is only for Lite-on DVD+RW LDW401S Drive

I have used this drive to play DVD's w/out fail but have yet to try a BD in it. I want to update the firmware but as stated b4 I cannot. Has anyone come across this with a fix.

An RMA is not out of the question if the drive is somehow to blame. Even if I can play a BD I will most likely want to update firmware as new version come out.

Thanx for any and all help

and you went to the site above? The LD version is totally different than the DH version you have... unless Lite-on Screwed up with their download.

I started out at the lite-on site. The problem is that the drive is not showing as a "lite-on" so the utility will not run. The program must need to see "lite-on" before allowing to continue. I have posted to several forums. I cannot believe I am the only one to have ever come across this..***sigh***

Proper Jmicron or Intel SATA/RAID etc drivers installed? On my other system when I just installed WindowXP and no actual SATA driver for my mobo, it showed my DVD-RW as a generic model. When I installed the drivers, I noted it now would show my Plextor. Not sure if this helps...

I've gone to gigabytes website several times and have d/l and installed the Chipset drivers. That did not help.. I did notice a second d/l'able file at lite-on this morning for my drive (DH-401s) I proptly d/l it and am sorry to say it did nothing. However the drive this file is looking for is the actual one I have so I hope (fingers crossed) they will fix that fix one day soon. Thanx for taking the time to respond and help...
