Driver update for Optiarc DVD RW AD-7190A

[Vince Cravotta]

I finally received the correct firmware upgrade and installed it (Flashed it) and "Lo & Behold" when I rebooted my computer the screen showed " new hardware found 'DVD RW AD 7201A is being installed!" The next thing it showed the "keyrite" program was recognized and was being reinstalled.
I was able to use the Keyrite program and it worked correctly the first time and then, yes I said and then, the burner produced a completed disk without any problems. Hurray!!!!.
I hope the loads of work that everyone involved worked on, and said, "stick with it Kid", will be some sort of assurance to everyone out there with a problem, to work with these fellows and anyone else who chips in with little ideas and maybe more problems will be solved.

Thanks to all,

I made a saying many years ago; "if you run you get shot, if you stopped you get stabbed".
Everyone from Administration to everyone who sent a post kept saying, "It's not the Burner. I of course kept saying, " It has to be the Burner that's not right.
Now my new saying will be; " What good is a bird in the hand if you have to Blow your nose!"

Thanks to all.

Thanks to all.

Life is only understood backwards but it must be lived forward.

Keep us posted as you re-load programs. It will be interesting to see if anything changes.

Vince,
Thank you for being patient and trying everything that was suggested. This is how we discover where the problem is, without your patience we would not have had this success.

Enjoy the MTU programs and "Keep On Rockin"!
