Someone help me/walk me thru re-flashing my CDRW please. Need help on mtkflash command.

[codeyf]

So, I finally get off my lazy azz and get set to flash my Lite-on 40x CDRW to 48x. Confirm the model # is compatible, get the proper prog and bin file, and start reading the how-tos. Well, it didn't work out. Drive now not recognized in XP.

I've got an older Win95 machine that I can boot in to DOS ok that I was gonna fix this on.

Thing is, I'm trying to wade thru all the posts/"info"/etc on various firmware sites and it's all very overwhelming.

I have downloaded:

mtkflash
LTR-48125W firmware

I have gathered that I need to have the drive alone on an IDE channel and set to master. Assuming I have the BIN file just on my floppy disk (we'll say A:\), and the drive is on the secondary channel set to master, what would the command line be for mtkflash?

TIA

Thanks for the info EY2K. Think you could help me out a little more? cdfreaks forum links don't work (last time I tried). And it's just tough wading thru the thousands of posts on other forums to find what I need.
