Hello, I am at my wits end with this flashing process. I have tried to use the flasher, the cmd prompts, and everything I could think of. I will attach a few screenshots of what I am seeing and dealing with. I can verify the drive works and is being show in file explorer, being seen in MakeMKV, but getting "No drive tool logic found in SDF.bin Internal error 0x8d000000" in cmd prompt. It does burn normal/bluray movies fine.

No disc inserted

getting quite a few reports of this
not sure whats happening if its a not downloading sdf issue or they changed the cases again

im leaning towards a case issue....
trying something now on a few people

well pretty sure the new archgon cases dont pass flashing commands through so they are getting removed from the guide

mike may be able to fix it like last time but who knows ill send him some info

*crossing fingers*

would likely not be soon

Hopefully the cables and adapters do the trick

Update. Got it flashed with adapter and SATA adapter. Drive was removed from shell and flashed using sdf flasher.
