FIRMWARE UPGRADE FOR YOUR CD-WRITER 4020i
------------------------------------------------------

January 31, 1996

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED THIS UPGRADE???

1. Place any CD into the CD-Writer.

2. Open Easy-CD (used with File Manager):
   - select the Easy-CD pull-down menu.
   - select CD Info.
   - look at the number to the left of the [OK] button.
     If it is 1.14 you need this upgrade.

   -OR-

   Open Easy-CD 95 (used with Explorer):
   - select the CD-R pull-down menu.
   - select CD Info.
   - look at the number to the left of the [OK] button.
     If it is 1.14 you need this upgrade.

HOW DO I UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE???

1. Run the CDR_F120.EXE program.

   In Windows 3.1:
   select File/Run, type a:\CDR_F120, and press Enter.

   OR

   In Windows 95:
   select Start/Run, type a:\CDR_F120, and press Enter.

2. Follow the directions on the screen.

   The red light on your CD-Writer will light up for several
   minutes while the firmware is upgrading. DO NOT DO ANYTHING
   ON YOUR COMPUTER UNTIL THE LIGHT GOES OUT.

   NOTE: In Windows 95, if auto-insert-notification was ON,
   the firmware upgrade program will turn it OFF and ask you
   to reboot.  Reboot the machine and start over at step (1).

   NOTE: After the firmware upgrade, Windows 95 will ALWAYS
   turn auto-insert-notification ON. We recommend that you
   ALWAYS turn it OFF.

HAVING TROUBLE???

* GPF in Windows 3.1 ???
  This is known to happen in systems with multiple SCSI host adapter
  boards and an older version of the WINASPI.DLL file.  Upgrading
  WINASPI.DLL requires updating two other files also: ADVW32.386
  and ADVASPI.SYS.  These files will be bundled together in a
  driver upgrade disc.

  Try the following:

  1. Locate the new HP SureStore CD-Writer Drivers Installation Disk,
     part number 83-276A1-200.  If you don't have this disk, you can
     download CDR95DRV.EXE from our BBS or FTP site.

  2. Run SETUP.EXE and follow its instructions, bypassing the
     option to install the Software Installation Disc.

  3. Run CDR_F120.EXE again.
