Sundriver "Unable to read the disc"

Hi Ppl!
I have recently bought a Sundriver modchip to run games on my wii.
Everything was fine, but at the final steep thing went wrong. I did everything as thay say in this video and the official manual. When im trying to "boot" the menu from sundriver it appears: "Unable to read the disc". I have already formated by windows (NTSF) and by SunDriver_Programmer_V2.04 . I don't know whatelse to do. Plz Help. Thx

You must downgrade firmware, lower than 4.3

I just installed Sundriver on fresh firmware 4.3E.

Also i installed SUN-MENU-V5.ISO from SUN-ISO Application v012 package. First time Wii Menu showed GameCube Menu in Disk Channel. Clicked on that and then on Begin (in GameCube menu) and i got an ugly screen with blackish-greenish stripes. I restarted the wii and now Disk channel just shows a disk icon. Clicking on that icon produces "Please insert disc".

The only thing that i did not do was to enable "Upgrade Lock". Could that be the problem?

Now you suggest that i downgrade from 4.3! Is it a fact? Is there anyone running sundriver with 4.3?
How can i downgrade?

1. Sundriver is not compatibile with Wii firmware 4.3.
2. You cannot install SUN-MENU-V5.ISO on firmware 4.3 (you can install but menu is not working-GREEN SCREEN instead of menu)
3. With FW 4.3 you must use only games region that came with wii console (pal or ntsc)
4. You can start game on FW4.3 (after you install it) with application (SUNDRIVER PROGRAMER V.2.0 and higher) that load game from pc (select game and than check USE PC CONFIG option)
note: for downgrade you must have working sd card and read other post that describes downgrading

So from your list i deduct that Sundriver IS compatible with 4.3, the menu IS NOT

I searched but could not find a post dealing with downgrading from 4.3. Could you or anyone else provide a link?
