Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2003 7:12 pmI had to resort to the DOS MTKFlash (Ver 1.55) to restore my drive after a BSOD popped up during the flash with the latest version.
That's 2 for 2 that I've had a failure now using the MTKWin Flash.
The program shows great promise, just not for me.
ATAPI mode does not locate my LTR-52246S on the Primary Slave.
BSOD occurred on IDE mode.
SOYO SY-7VBA133U (all running @ 133FSB)
P3 1GHZ
PC133 ram (2x 128mb)
Via 4 in 1's 4.45
XP Home Upgrade (from a clean install).
PM: Maxtor 40GB ata100 5400rpm
PS: LTR-52246S
SM: IBM 20gb ata66 7200rpm
SS: Creative Labs 6x DVD-Rom
Promise ATA66 Controller"
PM: Maxtor 4.3gb HDD

Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2003 6:15 am2 suspects are the VIA IDE drivers (I hear there's a recent upgrade) and the Promise controller. Nothing wrong with the Promise itself, but if you feel like experimenting you can try running Mtkwinflash after disabling it. Of course by that time you're faster just flashing in DOS with Mtkflash 
BTW, do you have good experience using the official Liteon Windows flasher on this configuration?

Oddly enough, the official Lite On firmware is no problem. It's worked everytime.
I was thinking it would be a problem with the Promise ATA66 controller too (BusMastering causing a problem?). But it's too much work to start pulling the card & removing VIA drivers.
MTK Flash (DOS) worked. I flashed it back before the post. All is well again.
As I said, the program shows great promise, just not with my system.
