In any scenario, you want to flash BU40N 1.03-MK first. You could leave the drive on this firmware if you like. If you want to use a different firmware, from here you could flash to: Buffalo BU12-MK BU40N 1.00 BU40N 1.03-MK and BU12-MK work with MakeMKV (and should work with AnyDVDHD beta version)....

figured it out...the checkbox for the encrypted option wasn't showing (see video) - dunno why the font is not letting me see it, but clicking on the word encrypted allowed me to see part of a green check mark, and after that was ticked it worked...thanks all

i read the guide up to the point where i realized i effed up (copied the wrong firmware) and i watched the video; i just can't get the sdftool to open the buffalo drive on my systems. from looking at the forums it seems there may be a problem flashing it w/in the default enclosure. anyone know if i ...

right i actually meant to say...


makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d F: rawflash enc -i \t\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin

that would be the CORRECT way to manually flash from the command prompt since sdftool is giving me errors?

yup running as admin; tried to upload video but it won't let me attach so i'm not seeing the 1.03 mk in the all firmware packet...so you're saying i DONT want to do this? makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d F: rawflash enc -i \t\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin since that's the 1.02...

well i tried putting the new replacement drive on a windows 10 x64 machine and i got the same error; unhandled exception using sdftool (latest) and latest make mkv installed. ideas? can i still flash using the command line tool, or do i risk bricking my drive again? i think i used the wrong firmware...

thanks... well...i tried to load sdftool flasher and it's giving this "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application." when i select my drive: when i try to select the wrong firmware (or the right firmware), the recover drive option is greyed out. i didn't use sdftool the first time...

nope. the tray is closed. pushing the button makes the light blink but the tray doesn't eject. i can put a paper clip in the tray and force it open but it still doesn't recognize inserted discs

so it looks like i flashed the wrong image >.< to the BU40N. any way to recover this? or is the drive totally bricked? should have done makemkvcon64.exe f --all-yes -d F: rawflash enc -i \t\HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin instead of using the wrong image...>.> any way to recover? ...

from the photos it looks like the USB cables are built into the device. does that mean they can't be easily replaced if they break? or, do they plug into the back of the unit?
