Hi thanks for replying. The make and model number of the dvd drive is "QSI DVD-ROM SDR-081 EUA1". I`d be eternally grateful if you could help. Thanks

Hi There,
For starters, with it being a laptop it may be harder to hack. If you download the following small utility it will tell you what type of DVD-ROM drive you have i.e. RPC-1 or RPC-2.
If it is RPC-1 then you won`t need an updated firmware, just DVD Genie to trick it. If it is RPC-2 then you will need an updated/hacked firmware and DVD Genie.
When you have found out let me know. Also, tell me what type of software you are using or whether you are using a hardware decoder.
Regards

Hi mate, Thanks again for replying to the enquiry. I have now found out that the dvd player is RPC-2 and that it will need new firmware...but where to find it eludes me. The software installed is Power DVD and I am not using a hardware decoder. Again, if you could help I would be most appreciated. KEIRAN FLYNN

Hi There,
I have actually found out that there isn`t an RPC-1 firmware available as yet....! Sorry!
But to keep upto date on all that type of news, this is the web site to view. Good luck.
