dvd firmware update on t40p

#1 Post by llama_thumper » Wed Jun 02, 2004 7:50 pm

i would like to update the firmware on my dvd, or at least check what version i have... unfortunately IBM has only posted a diskette only version of the update - is there any way around this (don't have a disk drive)?

you should be able to see the firmware version by right clicking on the drive in My Computer and selecting Properties. The firmware revision should be listed on the Settings tab.

HP 2530p L7400 1.86Ghz 3GB 160GB Windows 7 Pro 64

dvd firmware update on t40p

I have a T40p too, and there was a "mandatory" firmware update for the hard drive (60 MB 7,200 RPM), which you should check out as well if you have this drive.

I also have no floppy drive on my laptop, so I ended up downloading the update on my home computer, which had a floppy drive, and then borrowed a USB floppy drive to load it onto the laptop.

Is firmware version of the harddisk or CDRW/DVD drive available under Windows XP?
