What OS are you running? There might be some apps that are accessing the drive (anti-virus, cd-burner SW, etc) Shut down as many apps as possible from your system tray (perhaps even boot in "Safe Mode")

I flashed 5 with no problem. But the last (6th) one fresh out of the box did the same thing! I try to reflash it nope it didn't work. So I disconnected it and tried it on another system to reflash it (external unit). The computer didn't even recognize the drive. Apperently the drive is dead. Luckily I bought an extended warrenty on that thing no questions asked over the counter exchange. The drive smelt burnt. Going to return it tomorrow and try to reflash the new one.

I’m not so laky (as you Joe328),I bout my DVR in the US, so, I won’t be able to replace it.
Is there is a way to flash it again ( maybe with DOS )?.
If someone know the way please post here
