Hello, I am trying to make my Mat****a SR-8176 MZ25 region free but am having problems. The dvd-rom player is installed on my notebook running windows 2000 professionnal. Since it is required to run the app dwl2 on real dos mode here are the steps I used:
1- Reboot using win98 boot disk.
2- Copied dwl2.exe and mz25.bin from a: to c: (there is a reason for this that I will explain later)
3- Remove the floppy drive module and insert the dvd rom module
4- Run the program (dwl2 2 mz25.bin)
Everything seemed to work perfectly. The program recongnized the drive and the program worked with no bugs but when I restarted the computer in windows and launched the cdvdinfo.exe, the app says that I am still under region protection (?).
The reason I have to copy my files from a: to c: is because dos does not recognize the ntfs file system but creates a simily c: which contains several system files. This might be the problem although I have tried launching ntfsdos and could not run the program (computer hung).
Does anybody have any idea what I should do or try doing?
Thank you,
François
