Okay, here's the procedure I'm about to attempt. Please tell me if there's anything wrong with it.
1. Create a primary FAT partition and filesystem on my hard disk. 2. Get the firmware file from http://www.toshibaer.com/firmware/download.php?TS-L632D/TS-L632D_SC03.zip (unzip it, of course) and the flashing program from http://www.samsungodd.com/KorLib/File/sfdndos.exe and put them in the FAT filesystem. 3. Get the boot CD image from http://pioneerdvd.rpc1.org/boot_iso.zip, unzip it, and burn it on a CD-RW. 4. Boot from the CD-RW. 5. Find the FAT partition I made, navigate to it, and run "sfdndos TS-L632D_SC03.BIN PS -n" (the PS is for Primary Slave) -- Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running and optical drive is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
