Sorry for the new post on something probably already covered but I've been through pages and not found an answer.

First, obviously I'm considering the rename trick for my TDK TLA#307 (Boo!!Hiss!!). To use original Plextor firmware I must rename, YES??

Doesn't the original Plextor firmware actually offer the best performance from the drive as in side by side bench tests the Plextor edged ahead here and there??

Now for tangibles. The downloads from RoundSparrow, the exe files, I just close down all cd apps, disconnect 2nd drive, and run it, followed by a cold boot?? The info seems a little vague here and there.

I'm not exactly a newbie but I certainly haven't tried this specific hack.

ANY HELP would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

On a side note, if anyone has direct contact with RoundSparrow's Webmaster, or someone it would matter to, I am game for trying a reverse "name-back" file for Plex to TDK....

Peace-

I don't have that drive but do uncheck DMA in device manager for that drive before you flash it!:)

Yeah, thanks. I forgot all about that!! Now if I can just get the recipe for the whole rename thing clearer I'll be set.
