LiteON 24102B firmware flash appears to be failing... what to do?

[Muse]

Have the Liteon 24x CDRW drive and downloaded the latest firmware, 5S54, and am attempting to flash, but it seems to be failing. It's sitting there for over 15 minutes now. There was a warning that it was only for drives with a certain series of firmware already installed and I'm not sure mine was among them. I last flashed in November, so I figured I was OK. I have 5S0D installed now. Running Win2k Pro SP2, and all apps closed ... except Netscape so I can post this, now.

My screen looks like this:

__________________________________________________________
LiteON-IT Flash v 1.043LTR-24102B

LiteON-IT drive you want to update:

0-0-0 I:Lite-ON LTR-24102b 5S0D


FLASH

What should I do? The flash is stalled, and the only thing I can think to do is close the flash utility with Task Manager. Will my Liteon be usable? Can I flash back to 5S0D? Thanks for the help.

The warning message looked like this:

Do you wish to continue?

Yes No

Having 5S0D installed, I couldn't figure out whether or not this was included in 5S01-5S9Z! I mean, this is not discernible, right? So I went ahead since my version was pretty recent.
