LG Electronics BH12LS30
Firmware Version 1.01-C0
=========================

Never update the firmware if the problem you aree having is the drive 
isn't seen by windows, won't write with the included software, or other  
interface related problems, unless the firmware specifically states it 
fixes the problem you are having. Firmware updates normally don't fix these 
types of problems. Trying to update the firmware when there are interface 
address these problems can damage the drive's firmware. An error when 
updating the firmware is usually caused by a problem with the drive  
interface or there is more than one drive connected to that IDE channel.
