making my +rw burn -r?

[omegatron]

i was wondering how ( if any) without winhex ( only because i dont know how to use it) to make my phillips dvd+rw dvd8601 burn -r also

check for hacked firmware for it....that's the only thing that's going to do it.

EDIT what hex editor should i use.
EDIT: ok i got hex workshop ( i hope thats good) and i got the update file a forum told me to get b5g9.exe and i tryied to edit it but i cant find the values that they said to look for.... i have no clue what i am doing so if someone could do this 2 minute fix for me then tell me where it was at and show me how they did it... ( i dont like to be spoon feed but i really wantthis firmware)

ok i just talked to dell.... for all those that have flashed a drive with bad results from dell.. they are sending me a new drive phillips DVD8601 16x +- rw with dl support.... no questions asked for free

got my drive today dell rocks no matter what anyone says... I broke the drive and they sent a new one

was you still under warrenty? dell never like to give anything free. accept a cdr burner with a package upgrade
