Quick question
Apart from ripping to mkv, can these drives with the friendly fw be used to rip uhd disc to iso?

I would like to have 1:1 rips of my discs to stored on my NAS

FYI - thanks to this site's firmware 'fixer', I am doing exactly that - using latest AnyDVD to rip directly to iso, and it works just fine (ASUS BW-16D1HT, Firmware 3.03 flashed to DE 3.02 from this site) via USB 3.0 to SATA connector (Vantec). I chose the external USB connection because it had the most immediate option to test/use it now. Will get it into a separate internal rig install later (building an old Xeon 1366 machine from spare parts that will be used just for ripping UHDs and virus scanning drives from friends who surf and open things they shouldn't )

Is there any advice for flashing a LG WH16NS40 on Linux?

I found this article (https://club.myce.com/t/help-revert-lg- ... /399700/61) that recommends using a flasher util: github.com/devilsclaw/flasher. However, this tool doesn't work and says "failed to get pattern", "failed to get firmware info".

2) Win 10 PE? Is there a guide to this somewhere? I am really a windows noob. I don't want to dork up my wife's machine either. There was mention of a dosflasher. Is that an option?

Oh boy. I should have just found a friend that had a windows machine.

So it turns out Windows PE doesn't have .net? So this tool doesn't actually work with a windows PE bootable USB drive. This one does though:

https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 284#p70284

This works, even for the asus drive I own, in a windows PE environment. I'm sure no one will find this on pg. 17 here, but this is what worked for me to make a window PE drive in Ubuntu. Hint: It's not just a dd like many other boot images:

1) Get an iso. I found the "Hiren's Boot CD PE" and about 100 others, but this one was the one I used.
2) Use woeusb. Don't use bootiso. bootiso didn't work for me. Installing the woeusb is a little annoying, but it's the least painful method. It's pretty easy with that software: `woeusb --device Image.iso /dev/sdb` or something similar for your image and device.
3) You can mount the drive in Linux and put all the stuff you need on there, any bins and the flasher. I put mine in /stuff/ and it didn't bother anything.
4) Boot to that drive. I have a BIOS setup on this machine, so I didn't have to fight any uefi problems. This immediately got to a blue windows logo (compared to many previous attempts with just a prompt) and took about 3 mins to boot to a desktop.
5) The stuff you put on the drive will be in the C: folder.

IDK if this is normal, but the first time I tried it I got a checksum error and it said the drive was in "boot" mode and it disappeared from the list of drives. After a reboot, the tool said I had the 3.02 firmware on it, and when I flashed it again, it completed successfully. It's reporting 3.02 in makemkv and it's ripping away.

Next time, someone needs to just make a tool like this in javascript and have it run in chrome . Just kidding. Thanks for the tool and the fixed firmware files.
