Comment 116 for bug 84603

I confirm that the problem has gone after updating the firmware of the cd drive. it is an asus laptop (6000 series) with the afore mentioned TSST drive. I used the blah-blahSC04 version of firmware. sfdndos utility mentioned above. tried to make a bootable usb, but could not boot using it, so i burned boot CD from http://pioneerdvd.rpc1.org/index.html#BOOTISO

thanks to all of those who contributed.
