Finding Firmware version of CD-Roms


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Hope somebody here can help. I need to find out the firmware version of my CD-Writer (and for that matter also my DVD) in order to flash it.

Under Windows 98 it was easy as you just right clicked the drive and it showed you, however under XP I cannot seem to find this option. I have tried right clicking the drive under windows explorer and also from within Device Manager with no joy. Somebody pls help.

Thanks in advance :o)
