After checking the most recent guide:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634
And seeing my drive manufactured in 2015, I decided to take my chances. And of course, it failed, really bad:
The drive firmware version has now become "BOOT". It turns on, blinks twice, repeatedly, and does nothing else.
Code: Select all
>makemkvcon64.exe f -l
Found 1 drives(s)
00: \Device\CdRom0, \Device\CdRom0, D:
ASUS_BW-16D1HT_BOOT
Since there is some signal, I don't want to give up on it. However at this point, I am ready to dig up one of my older PCs in the garage, and install DOS on it if necessary. But I don't know how to actually fix that firmware.
Has anyone run into this situation before? And what is the best guide to return the drive to original condition?
