ABSTRACT:
A flash memory in which a code for debugging an optical drive and a code for controlling the optical drive are downloaded when required, the functions of the downloaded code are subsequently executed, and the executed code is then deleted. The flash memory includes a first area where a firmware operation module that is received from an external source is executed and deleted; and a second area allocated to store a code for loading the firmware operation module that is stored in the first area, a code for executing the firmware operation module that is stored in the first area, and a firmware code.
