MULTI-REGION LAPTOP DVD-ROM

Ok i got the Drive Region Info prog. My dvd-rom model is:

TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2502 1011

My drive is RPC 2

Its currently set at R2 and status is: NOT PERMANENT

I went here: http://forum.firmware-flash.com/portal.php and found the appropriate firmward. its downloaded but i have yet to install.

anyone had any experience? the instructions seem vague to my minor skill with computers.

How do i do this:

1- Make sure that TOSHIBA CD/DVD-ROM drive is connected.
2- Run PC by MS-DOS mode.
3- Copy "VUPXX.EXE" & "******.HEX" to some directory in HDD.
4- Type "VUPXX ******.HEX" then hit RETURN-KEY.
5- Program finishes with the message of "Comparison : GOOD"

The instructions are fairly standard for a flash upgrade except that it is better done from a floppy, if the file`s will fit. You need to make a dos bootable floppy copy the two files to it then run them as it says. It might be better if you have a mate who understands this to help you as if you get it wrong you can trash your drive.
