thx 4 the nfo.. can someone explain me whats all about this booktype thing? is it possible to write DVD+R as DVD-ROM? is it the same with
DVD-R? if so how do i do this? if not can this be changed anytime?
thx

@chrjs: The booktype can is the code which is reportet to the (reading) drive. The ND-1300A can not (at least not yet) change the booktype of DVD+R.
Simple solution: Burn your xbox-stuff on DVD-R. DVD-R can be read by every xbox-drive out there.

I've got Princo 4x with White Top and they work without any problems! At least the red tops will work @ 2x (it's still better than "Illegal Medium Error") 
It's me again.
So do I need the FAT32-partition for the BOOTCD-version, or will the flashing work without it?
If I need it only to backup the original one, could you (or anyone else) simply upload the default 1.05 FW somewhere?

DOS is unable to natively write to an NTFS formatted disk. There are drivers that let you read from an NTFS hard drive (though through a different drive letter) in DOS, see pioneerdvd.rpc1.org for one, but you cannot write to the NTFS disk. If you are only flashing the drive, then download >NIL:'s boot disk with the DOS NTFS Read-only drivers and flash that way, but if you are backiing up the current firmware, then you should do it on a blank floppy disk or on a FAT partition.

Do I need the FAT-partition then? I would need it for backupping, but if someone simply would upload the default 1.05 firmware somewhere - (I live in Finland, dunno which region it is, since Im the über-n00b of the year.  )

When you use my bootcd in your normal cd-rom/cd-r/dvd-rom drive then you can just flash your NEC from the bootcd. I just won't work when the bootcd is in the NEC!
The backup can be found at Etna's site

That's the verbatim we tested, right?
Is it now included in the firmwares in your links?
And just so you all know: the Verbatim dvd-r 2x (with the media code above) are actually 4x in disguise. I've tried a few (movies, ps2) and they all work properly in 4x.
And thats all thanks to Herrie!!!

Since I've only the NEC connected, will it work this way:
I'll make a FAT32-partition, boot from the bootCD (which is in the NEC), then change drive to the FAT32-partition (where the flash-hack is), and flash from there?

Perhaps this is thousand times better way to ask help.
How should I flash my ND-1300A? I don't need the commands, just - how to boot and so on...
System configuration is following:
OS: W2k
HDD: 3x NTFS-partitioned. (I've PM8 though.)
CD/DVD-Drives: Only the ND-1300A.
Floppy Disk Drive: None connected.

Should work already:
List of added media codes:
6 times space (2x experimental)
6 times space (4x)
BeAll G00001 (2x tested & verified)
CMC MAG.AF01 (4x tested & verified)
DDD DVDR (2x experimental)
EURODIG-DISC (2x experimental)
Please let me know if it doesn't work! (I doubt it won't, because other media with the same 3 lines of media code do work

Should work that way since I do it the same way!

Humid, in your case, boot with the boot-cd/dvd, then copy the needed flashing-files/tools to a accessible hdd-partition, REMOVE the CD/DVD from the NEC, then (maybe make a backup of the current FW before) start flashing your drive.
After that, reboot.
BTW, Finland is almost in good old europe, that means its Regioncode 2.
Tak! (what is it similar in Finish/Finland?)
Over & Out.
If its not working (in) anyway, pm me and I'll try to assist you. 8)

Just a little note:
I've burned a bunch of Primedisc 4x DVD-R whitetops @4x with Nero (with verify) and had no problems.
Then (I didnt noticed that) stupid windooze just forced downsetting DMA > PIO-mode for unknown reason, but Nero already showed 4x burning... but the timecount showed me the truth... 2x speed of course.
The problem is, all these 4x media burnt at 2x had read-errors and verify-errors in the last 200/300mb of the discs. D@mn.
So, I just removed the IDE-channel in Devicemanager and plugNprayed it again back, set again to FORCING DMA-mode (which was already enabled...) and rebooted.
Started again and now burning again at decided speed (4x) and with NO ERRORS.

Running XP I guess? It seems that XP does this sometime for some reason
I'm running win2k and no problems at all

Hi,
I've tried Princo DVD-RW Ver. 1.1 which are 1-2x speed -RW medias.
The NEC detects them as 1x and at 8 of 10 tries writing fails. If it doesn't fail verify fails.
00 42 00 00 01 40 D6 FD 9E D8 21 00 02 0F 06 06 .B...@....!.....

60 15 11 00 07 10 09 06 BC 60 15 00 00 00 00 00 `........`......
Can someone add support for these medias to the firmware, please.

These media are supposed to be supported as 2x. Because there's 21 00 in the 1st line which indicates it's 2x. 20 indicates 1x. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find info about the writing speeds for other media then the DVD-R. I'll try to see what I can do, but I suggest you buy some better media, because PRINCO has proven to be pretty crappy!
