You should be burning in mode 1. Why are you trying to burn mode 2?

The latest v31 image is for Nero Burning Rom software... and its set for Mode2.. nothing needs to be changed... but be ware... although I burned that image correctly... it still killed my mk3 and i cant revive it

What did you do after you killed it. I am trying to update a 740i aswell?

I'm afraid I can't endorse that. It seemed to me it was a Mode1 disk image when I burned it some days ago. But, still, I may be wrong. Just be sure to check before using it on a Mk-III.

On second thoughts, if it is a Mk-III you own, you have no use for a V31 at all, be it Mode2 or whatever. If your current version number is not too old, you wouldn't be loading anything different from what you already have: no matter the higher version number there is no new software in it for Mk-IIIs since V24 at least.

So, if you really need it, and can not find a Mode2 V31 to download, just burn a Mode2 V30, V29, or V24. They all carry the same software as far as Mk-IIIs are concerned.

Yes, to confirm what Malaspina said... all versions of the NavOS update disc from the very old V22 (8/2003) to the latest V31 all include the most recent NavOS update for the MKIII, which is 3-1/63.

See this page for a chart.

So don't waste your time trying to get V31 to work - it won't matter anyway! Just use one of the older discs that already comes in Mode 2 - it will get your MKIII up to date just fine.

It is not Mode2. I checked the image. The image is Mode1. That's why it killed your Mk3.
