hypothetically lets say im flashing my lite-on drive and my computer happened to restart itself during the process. would this brick everything or would i be able to start up my computer and start the process of flashing over again?

My computer has a history of randomly restarting itself so this is why i ask.

As long as you have your dummy.bin you will be fine, you cant permanently brick a lite-on with just firmware afaik.

Where you live?
As long as you have your original firmware and/or key you would be fine. The only drive that would be an issue would be an older hitachi 46-79 if that failed during midflash.
