Trattandosi però di un'operazione altamente rischiosa voglio essere sicuro al 100% di quello che faccio... ed ho un piccolo problema... nella guida del nuovo firmware si legge
¡Ø Critical Instructions: (to be followed carefully)
1. Connect the drive as ¡°master¡± by it self, on the secondary IDE controller with no other device on the same IDE cable, making note to set the jumper on the back of the drive to the¡°master¡±position.
2. Download the file GSA-H42N_RL01(EW).ZIP to a folder of your choice. This download includes this ¡°Read me(ew)¡± text file, as well as the GSAH42N_RL01.EXE program, which will auto-update your drive's firmware.
3. Close all other programs including: screen saver, antivirus and/or power-down programs. (If these programs are not closed, they will try to engage the PC, during the update process, thus interrupting the update and damaging the drive).
4. Check the drive to ensure that there is no disk in the tray before you start the update procedure.
5. Go into the folder with the update file and double click the GSAH42N_RL01.EXE program and click the ¡°update¡± button (red). Once the update is complete, you will see ¡°Firmware Update Complete¡± and the button will become green and advise you to reboot the system.
You will need to reboot your PC.
The update will be complete, after you reboot your system.
WARNING: Do not open any programs or start any system functions during the update, as they will interfere with data transfer and damage the drive. Do not cancel the operation once it has been started or the drive will become permanently damaged, as a result.
Il problema è al punto 1 in quanto ecco qual è la mia attuale configurazione

Come potete vedere il masterizzatore è si connesso come Secondary Master, ma c'è il lettore che è montato come Secondary Slave
A questo punto quindi come dovrei procedere? ............... posso fregarmene o devo staccare il lettore? ........... ed in caso come? devo semplicemente staccare il cavetto?
Grazie mille
