Without a disc, MakeMKV reports this:

Thanks in advance for your help. Very new to all of this. I have been reading through the forums and there are many variations of similar drives and wanted to get a sense of whether this one if UHD capable.

Thanks but the check box is not enabled.

Finally my girlfriend’s ARM-based laptop worked and I was able to flash it. Just to be sure here is the new info from MakeMKV (running on the PC that BDRFlash does NOT work on) and a screenshot from BDRFlash after flashing (running on the ARM laptop). If you would not mind just verifying all is well… Thanks!

Thank you so much, sorry but I made a mistake my drive is BW-16D1H-U not 1X.
Do I need to use Asus BW-16D1HT 3.10MK firmware file with BDRFlash to flash the drive?
