    The 14a and 18a drives are totally different mechanically, so changing one to the other isn't going to happen.

    You need to convert the DW-U18A to a DRU-530A first. Once that's done you can then stick on the 8x firmware for the 530A.

    Chipzilla, you gave this reply earlier on today (You need to convert the DW-U18A to a DRU-530A first. Once that's done you can then stick on the 8x firmware for the 530A.) I just want to clarify do you mean to flash my DVD writer to the DW-U18A first then flash it to the DRU-530A? im not sure if this is what you meant or not
