      What version firmware do you have in? You might not be able to do a downgrade.

      The trick to downgrading is to use REAL DOS, not a dos box from Windows. Boot up from a Win98/etc boot disk and run from a floppy. Or if you have a FAT32 formated HD copy the files to the ROOT directory of that HD abnd run from there. It works that way, have done it a few times myself on my A05.

      When you boot fronm the floppy, you do use "With CDROM Support" option? Does your burner come up as one of the installed cdroms?

      i use a windows me bootdisk . I have now managed to downgrade the drive now. The problem was the software i used . Some idiot modified the software and they changed the rom to a pioneer 106 so it wouldnt work . Still have the same problem now have firmware 1.0 on it and it still wont write at a 4 .

      So is it possible that i could have a mb or software conflict and whatever

      You havent said why you needed to downgrade the firmware. But it appears your having problems writing at 4x, then what media are you trying to burn at 4x and are they certified 4x ?

      I've never seen anyone achieve a 4x burn after a downgrade. Only after an upgrade. I've even seen it written on some of the 4x media cases.

      i was told that it could be the firmware that was causeing the problem but i cant write at 4 times with any media such as blkpaq mirror princo all will write at 2 but not 4

      Then I would suggest your Bulkpaq princos are just 2x rather than 4x.. Drop a blank dvdr into the burner,
      run DVD Decrypter and hit W (ISO Write mode). In the right hand panel, what does it say the Manuf ID is and what is its max Write speed ?
