You should *not* attempt to flash the firmware on an optical drive,
when the interface is obviously flaky and error prone. This will
only result in the drive getting bricked and no longer responding.

Instead, you have to discover whether the drive is defective, or
the problem is at the computer end.

I would try an 80 wire IDE cable, assuming this is an IDE (ribbon cable)
type drive. 80 wire cables have better signal transmission properties
than 40 wire cables. On the 80 wire cable, every second signal is a
ground, which helps define transmission line impedance, and also
helps a bit with crosstalk.

The next thing to check, is the connector being used on the cable. If the
cable has two connectors on the drives end, and there is only a single
device in use, it goes on the end connector.

Do it this way instead. With a single drive, use the end connector. The
signal quality will be better. If you use an 80 wire cable, instead of
a 40 wire cable, that also improves the signal quality.

Hope that helps,

User: N/A

Description:
Windows cannot access the file F:\Digit.exe for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Digit because of this error.

Program: Digit
File: F:\Digit.exe

The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.
