Hi just purchase a 16x LG DVD burner and need to upgrade the driver. I
downloaded the firmware and when I click on it to upgrade driver I get this
message " Can't find target drive." I'm totally lost can anyone tell me
what I'm suppose to do to find the target drive.
 
Vegetta, is the drive connected properly. Red stripe on ribbon cable
facing white power connector. Does the drive show up
in the Bios and in Device Manager?

Two possibilities:

The program may need to be run from a command prompt specifying the
letter for the drive. Start - Run and run cmd.exe
If you have the program as say C:\DVDburner\update.exe
and the letter for the drive is say X: give
CD \DVDburner
update X:

Second: Such firmware upgrades (please distinguish from the 'drivers'
that are part of windows or of a burning package and which should *not*
be needed from LG) sometimes need to be installed from a DOS boot.
Make a floppy disk by right clicking the drive in My Computer, taking
Format, and checking the 'MSDOS Startup disk' box.

then open the result in My computer and drag that update program, and
data file, onto it.

Set the machine's BIOS at Power on to boot floppy before hard disk, put
the floppy in the drive and boot it; then run the program by giving its
name
