    Just tried and suceeded in changing my DW-10a to a DRU-500a and then got the new firmware 2.0e from sony and all appears to be ok. Can still do DVD-R X4 have to wait for the DVD+R's X4 to test them.

    I patched my DW-U10A to DRU-500A and applied the version 2 firmware without any hickups or disabling DMA...

    Works like a charm .. Thanks all

    i did the flash to the 500a, then the firmware upgrade to 2.0e, when i open nero it lists the speeds available as 3.1x and 2.6x, what gives?

    i dont have any 4x media so i can't check if it works at 4x or not. what do u guys get when u open nero with no media in the drive?

    I only get the 4X option when a 4X DVD-R is inserted in the drive other wise I get the same as you mrchan. I think 4X only shows when one is in the drive it's self.

    Hope someone can help me out here... I've got the Sony DW-U10A DVD writer and updated the firmware to DRU-500A. When I burn a DVD in Nero Burning ROM 5.5.10.20, it does not finish. When it gets to 100% it just stops and there's no popup message saying "Copy Succesfully Done"... I've waited about 30 minutes and the message still didn't show up. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thx /M

    Hi, I had this trouble with my DRU500AX I contacted Sony support and they were great, they told me to update my Bus Mastering driver on the motherboard and after doing this it works great!

    You need to find out the make of your motherboard then go on Google.com and find the makers web site, there you will find support updates to download.

    Install them and all will be well. Hopefully

    Thanks Gully, gotta confirm link in your message worked a treat, then allowed me to update to firmware rev 2.0f. Was beginning to think from the other comments I had bought a duff unit.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a DRU-500A on 1 of my computers and it's great. I wanted to add another one to my second computer, but I wanted a black faceplate. I finally found it, but when I installed it, it was a DW-U10A. I searched all over this forum and found the patch that Gully posted. I must say that it worked like a charm. Now it is recognized as a DRU500A and I have flashed it to the 2.0f firmware.
    Thanks, guys
