HP DVD Writer 840b

‎11-19-2009 02:39 AM

I'm running an m7367c desktop with an HP 840b DVD writer and would like to upgrade the firmware. What's the latest version?

 

It's currently running HI86 as it's firmware.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the help. Is this just a matter of downloading and running the .exe? Or am I going to have to burn the .iso to disk then run?

I have lost both my cd?DVD drives, letters E & F are drive designations on control panel, I have been trying to uninstall and install new drivers with no success.  The following message is what I receive: "Windows cannot load drivers for this hardware.  The Driver may be corrupted or missing. (code 39).  When I try to download new drivers from the HP website, nothing happens.  Need Help. Thanks
