DVD drive firmware update issues

I have an HL-DT-ST GWA 4164B drive from Dell (came in my Dimension 5150). I'm now trying to update the firmware to version 1.05, but FWLoader tells me "Not detected target drive" when I load it up, and "Model mismatched !" when I attempt to open the .bin with FWLoader. It doesn't do anything else.

Nevermind, my drive is a variation (E113). I found the correct firmware, but it stated I was already up-to-date.
