"If it aint broke why try to fixit" . Use a litey myself and haven't changed the firmware as it does all i need with orig. one.

Personly I think it was just a cache thing. I went to their site and still not there, hit Shift - Reload and bingo, was there.

Firmware is software that is stored in a chip inside the LiteOn (or any other burner, cdrom, dvdrom, HD, etc)

This software basically controls the fundermental way the unit works (similar to the BIOS in your computer's motherboard) and as with any bit of software, it can have bugs or shortcomings. When a problem/bug is found, they fix it, re-issue the firmware as an installable file (well LiteOn does, others do not) that basically overwrites the existing software with the new one.

Some people upgrade their Firmware as new versions are issued for their equipment without knowing what the differencs to older versions are. They assume the latest is the greatest (not always true!) Others take the attitude, if it aint broke, dont fix. Unless you are having some real problems with your unit, the latter option is allways the best.

hello G-Love all you have to do is unzip the profiles into you profiles directory on c:\program files\elaborate bytes\clonecd\profiles this will create another profiles folder just cut and paste in to the main profiles folder then when you go to copy a disc in clonecd all the new profiles will be avaliable.


hope this makes sense and helps



take it easy
