Hi, I have tried a search for this, very difficult to word it properly or concisely, so I'm posting and please forgive me if it's been covered before.

I run Window XP Home. My hard drives are NTFS. I am booting with an ME boot disk to the A:\ prompt. I am trying to get to my G:/My Documents/My Programs/regionfree folder to run a flasher with the following command line, according to the readthis.text: lg4082b -sec -mas -flash a201rpc1.bin

Now I believe the DOS is telling me my G:/ drive is labeled E: in this DOS program. So at the A:/ prompt I type E: and that changes the prompt to E:\ Then I type DIR and it LISTS two directories MYDOCU~1 and NEWLEE~1. Now this confirms to me that this is really my G: drive.

How do I get the flasher .exe file and .bin file that is in G:/My Documents/My Programs/regionfree? And then run it? I've been trying for hours, and reading DOS help pages on the internet, can't get it done.

Please help. Thanks so much. MarkIf your G: drive is really NTFS, then I don't see how a Windows Me boot disk is going to READ anything on an NTFS partition. Are you sure you are seeing it? If it really is seeing your drive, then use:
Code: [Select]cd \mydocu~1\myprog~1\region~1Thanks for the reply. Seems the bootdisk I downloaded from the net has a program called ntfsdos on it. Upon further investigation I see it is read only. Lot of good that does me! Anyways, found some advice that says boot with the floppy disk, remove the disk and put in ANOTHER disk with the flash files on it and flash that way. Have read other places to never flash with a floppy that they are very unreliable. Others say create a small Fat32 partition and put the flash files there. Seems like a lot of work. Also am hesitant to flash the DVD drive anyway, may end up with a useless piece of hardware, not really sure I need to do it, although it says my drive only has 2 region changes left, don't want it to get locked. Really just enjoying the tinkering aspect and learning a little about my computer. Drives are very cheap these days. Need to upgrade to dual layer anyway. Thanks again.DvD drives are about as expensive as a box of chocolates these days and I've flashed quite a few devices from floppy without problem. All you need is a bare boot diskette with the utility and the firmware on it. Most of the ones I've sen will fit on a single diskette.
If not, creating a bootable CD may be another option.
You may find that the [highlight]Knoppix Live CD[/highlight] will be very useful.Thanks very much for the help. I'm going to give it a go. I'll post back with results.

I'm going to make another post about another issue I have, maybe you could watch out for it. I want to use XP's Task Scheduler to run Lavasoft Ad-Aware and I have to write a command line. Not really sure how to do it, but I'll post again as to not UPSET the moderators. Thanks. MarkFloppy disks are not very reliable, but most flashing programs account for that by reading the entire binary before flashing it to the firmware. Floppy is still my preferred method of flashing firmware.Success!!! Drive is now RPC1. Used floppy boot disk, changed to another floppy with the flash on it, typed the command line and voila. Thanks all for your help. Mark
