    Yes I posted this further back and installed it. It made it really loud so I downgraded right down to the original un-noisy A00/A01

    Are you talking about the insert/eject sound of the drive? I don’t think DELL ever fixed that. Besides, It is a mechanical sound, and I don’t it can be fixed with a BIOS/firmware or software update. However there was a BIOS update to fix the computer from freezing while disks were inserted/ejected, but that had nothing to do with the sound it makes.

    Hey, I'm trying to downgrade back to the version that isn't incredibly annoying (and not good for stealthly turning on your computer while in class). Anyway, I downloaded the R166212.exe but when i try to run S10NA101-00 it gives me "An invalid argument has occured" Any ideas?
