When trying to install the firmware update for the DRU500 or DRU510A I am getting an error write header mode 6 failure. What is causing this error?
Answer:
You must disable DMA before updating the firmware.
To disable DMA Go to:
- Right Click My Computer
- Choose Properties
- Choose Hardware
- Choose Device Manager
- Click the + in front of IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers
- Double Click the secondary IDE Controller
- Choose the Advanced Settings Tab
- Change the DMA mode for both Device O and Device 1 to PIO Only
- Click Apply, and OK
- You will need to restart the computer for the settings to take effect
If you do not have this option and have a Via IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller in Device manger do the following:
- Go to Add/Remove Programs
- Remove the Via 4 in 1 driver
- Reboot your system
- Follow steps to disable DMA
