Flashing a 48x24x48 drive to 52x24x52 drive

Today I got a "Khypermedia" 48x24x48 drive which resembles my old 40x12x48 CDRW drive. I think both are rebagged Lite-Ons because of their resemblance of one another from different companies and resemblance of pictures of the drives at newegg.com

How should I go about flashing the drive? I have no clue but I am searching on google incase my bad searching skills turn good for once.
 
Oh, and I know it won't make a big difference but it takes a few minutes to flash and I want to try it out since I have 52x media to use now.
 
You have to check, and confirm that its a Lite-on clone. Check your current firmware version with NeroTool, look at your exact model number, and then see if you can find any correlation between your drive and a LiteOn 40x12x40 CD-RW. LiteOne doesn't make 40x12x48 drives btw. Their 48x24x48 drive is the LTR-48246S, which is upgradeable, and the LTR-48246K, which is not. The LTR-48246S has firmware versions that look like SS0x, where x is a digit/alphabet. However, clone drives may have slightly different firmware versions. For example, my Iomega 48x24x48 drive, which is a LTR-48246S clone, had a firmware SOS2. It looks similar but not identical to the LiteOn firmware...I was able to flash it to the Iomega 52x24x52 firmware, which is another LiteOn clone.

Good luck.
