Titolo: LG GSA-4160B

Ciao a tutti.
Ho un problema con il masterizzatore LG GSA-4160B. Da quando ho
installato il service pack 2 di windows xp, legge correttamente ma
quando inizia a scrivere l'applicazione usata per scrivere si blocca
(qualunque, da nero a easy cd creator, clonecd, burnatonce ecc.).
Ho trovato un aggiornamento del driver dalla versione A301 alla A302
ma anche quando eseguo questa, l'applicazione si blocca. Ho seguito
alla lettera tutte le istruzioni (masterizzatore collegato come
Seconday Master, nessun altro dispositivo collegato all'IDE
secondario) ma non cambia niente.
Qualcuno ha qualche idea su come risolvere il problema?
Grazie

 secondario) ma non cambia niente.
ma quindi non è consigliato avere altro sull'ide secondario, neanche come
slave ?

Questo č quello che c'č scritto nelle istruzioni per l'aggiornamento
del driver. Le riporto qui sotto:
                            Readme
        GSA-4160B Version A302 Firmware Update
To update the firmware of the GSA-4160B please refer to the following
instructions:
Note: Not following the subsequent update instructions explicitly will
result in
permanent damage to your drive, for which LG will not be responsible.
This firmware update is for drives with original firmware versions
below A301.
The drives must be original LG branded drives with the DVD Writer 
model number GSA-4160B(no OEM units). 
If you have an OEM unit, branded with another manufacturers name, 
please contact that manufacturer for support and firmware updates.
This firmware update is for use only on PCĄŻs with Windows XP, Windows
2000,
Windows Millennium Edition (ME), or Windows 98.
 ĄŘ Critical Instructions: (to be followed carefully)
1. Connect the drive as Ą°masterĄą by it self, on the secondary IDE
controller
   with no other device on the same IDE cable, making note to set the
jumper
   on the back of the drive to the Ą°masterĄą position.
2. Download the file GSA-4160A302(EW).ZIP to a folder of your choice. 
   This download includes this Ą°Read me(ew)Ąą text file, 
   as well as the GSA4160A302.EXE program, which will auto-update your
driveĄŻs firmware.
3. Close all other programs including: screen saver, antivirus and/or
power-down programs.
   (If these programs are not closed, they will try to engage the PC, 
   during the update process, thus interrupting the update and
damaging the drive).
4. Check the drive to ensure that there is no disk in the tray before
you start
   the update procedure.
5. Go into the folder with the update file and double click the
GSA4160A302.EXE program
   and click the Ą°updateĄą button (red). Once the update is complete,
   you will see Ą°Firmware Update CompleteĄą and the button will
become green
   and advise you to reboot the system. 
   You will need to reboot your PC.
  The update will be complete, after you reboot your system.
 
 WARNING: Do not open any programs or start any system functions
during the update,
          as they will interfere with data transfer and damage the
drive.
          Do not cancel the operation once it has been started or the
drive will
          become permanently damaged, as a result.

    on the back of the drive to the ¡°master¡± position.
