I would prefer to firmware update over SATA. you would add it as a second disk, but once windows is booted, cancel anything trying to set it up or whatever.. just open PC, add power and SATA cable, then start PC. Don't do anything else bar starting firmware update. If it doesn't start, no harm, no foul.
Thanks for your reply, but, hmmm, some of it is unclear to me.

Are you saying it would be better to install the firmware update while using the drive as a secondary drive and not simply attached to the computer via USB via a USB to SATA cable?
What is the difference actually? How would one hook up the liteon to use as a secondary drive on a laptop? I would imagine somehow using the same SATA cable, is this correct? So the difference might be something to do with adjusting some settings in disk management or something? Ie, with the drive simply connected via USB, if it was working, I'd be able to use it as an external drive, whereas to use as a secondary drive (presumably capable or running windows?) I would need to adjust some settings in disk management or some other settings.

I think you are suggesting I connect the drive to use a secondary drive while it is turned off. Then, make sure the AC power is on (and not simply running on laptop battery power), attached the SATA to usb, then start the PC and try to install the firmware. Is this accurate?
