Hi - sorry to hijack.

I have the exact same drive:

Drive Information
OS device name: \Device\CdRom0
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: MOEPAIH1509
Firmware date: 2124-04-23 13:47
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 61

Can I Confirm the link to the update tool works? Just because BU40N revision 1.05 wasnt specifically listed.

Cheers
