Note: Not following the subsequent update instructions explicitly will result in 
permanent damage to your drive, for which LG will not be responsible.

This firmware update is for drives with original firmware versions below 101.
The drives must be original LG branded drives with the Combo Drive model number 
GCC-4480B(no OEM units).

please contact that manufacturer for support and firmware updates.

  Critical Instructions: (to be followed carefully)
1. Connect the drive as master by it self, on the secondary IDE controller 
   with no other device on the same IDE cable, making note to set the jumper 
   on the back of the drive to the master position.
2. Download the file GCC-4480B102(EW).ZIP to a folder of your choice. 
   This download includes this Readme(ew) text file, as well as the GCC-4480B102(E).EXE program, 
   which will auto-update your drives firmware.
3. Close all other programs including: screen saver, anti virus and/or power-down programs. 
   (If these programs are not closed, they will try to engage the PC, during the update process, 
   thus interrupting the update and damaging the drive).
4. Check the drive to ensure that there is no disk in the tray before you start the update procedure.
5. Go into the folder with the update file and double click the GCC-4480B102(E).EXE program.
   Firmware upgrade will be automatically started.
   
   When the UPGRADE is complete the screen should indicate FIRMWARE UPDATE SUCCESSFUL. 
   Re-boot your PC.  

 The update will be complete, after you reboot your system.
 
 WARNING: Do not open any programs or start any system functions during the update, 
          as they will interfere with data transfer and damage the drive. 
          Do not cancel the operation once it has been started or the drive will 
          become permanently damaged, as a result.
