1. First you will need a compatible DVD burner from the range below:
LiteOn iHas 124-XX B
LiteOn iHas 224-XX B
LiteOn iHas 324-XX B
LiteOn iHas 424-XX B
LiteOn iHas 524-XX B
LiteOn iHas 624-XX B
(The XX varies- the important part is the B firmware version)
This tutorial shows the process for the LiteOn 324 burner! Make sure you use the right upgrade.exe as well as the right firmware for your burner.
Now we need the flashing utilities as well as the firmware suited to your burner which you can download attached:

And there you go it's all done … All that's left is to change a few settings in ImgBurn.
7. Configuring ImgBurn
Reminder: The iXtreme Max firmware only allows writing at a certain speed and depending on the type of media.
Max speed for an MKM003 (with OPC) 4 X
Max speed for an MKM001 (without OPC) 2,4 X
Personally I always recommend burning your backups at 2,4 X no matter the media.
Make sure to select perform OPC before writing on the settings page, as shown below if you intend to burn at 4 X.

Your burn is finished, but you need to verify it to make sure it succeeded 100%.
