- The upgrade is intended for EXPERT USERS only who know what they are doing.
- Only perform the upgrade when it is absolutely necessary, for example to use the CD-Writer with incompatible burning software programs.
- Before performing the upgrade turn off and exit ALL CD-related programs which may interfere with the upgrade (especially packet-writing software like Adaptec DirectCD or Ahead InCD).
- Always power off the computer to perform a COLD BOOT. Then turn on the computer and test if the upgrade was successful.
