The Firmware Page

I have downloaded he new firmware for said device from pioneer site, set up file / folders as specified ,but when I run the flash utility is states that "the target cannot be found". WHat am I doing wrong??

You have an OEM version of the 107
Use the DVRFlash version from my site

So I'm still being dense....followed the DOS instructions and it still doesn't flash. The drive is set up in CLE mode not master or slave, does that make a difference?

what if you started by giving us the exact commandline you use, the exact output you got, and, since you have been using DOS, give us some more details on how you got on with that ASPI.SYS driver and how you found your SCSI ID (x.y.z)?

sorted it...was being extra dense...thx for your help

hi interesting stuff on 107d i just purchased a one
i ran from floppy and it said it was not a pioneer driver so checked drive with your dvd firmware detect and it sees it as 1.o9 firmware i purchased this unit today sunday 29th feb

so is there any way to backward flash it to i think 107 / 105 so i can use it at 8x
cheers flash you can email me or better post reply here as i bet there will be a few getting this with the new firmare version it has on the same flasher did my friends ok but his was one of the first batch sold
hope you can help

by the way im running xp home
the ghost

You're right in assuming that there will be a few getting the 1.09 fw with their drive and asking the same questions.
But you're wrong in assuming that you are the first one who came to this forum with these. Your questions have been answered before, so please do a search, thank you.

And if you want to keep friends here, DO NOT CROSS POST THE SAME QUESTION!

Here is the info for DMA:

1. Make sure the settings in the BIOS for IDE are correct.
2. Check with a tool like Nero Infotool for DMA settings.
3. Open Devicemanager, goto "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers", select the regarding IDE Channel and click on Advanced Settings.

cheers nil for the advice
browsed quite a lot looking but there was that many conflicts that why i posted here
still new at this sideof things but dma is on
used nero tool before i saw the second post
just need a little help thanx for the reply

I've got the same problem !

Can't flash my 107D OEM !

As for the pioneer original flash soft, I've got a problem with DVDRflash : the soft doesn't recognize my 107D...It says : "The drive doesn't appear to be a pioneer drive"... ...What's the [*Profanity*] with my 107D... ...I've tested DVDRFlash and UPGDVD under DOS & Windows and always the same message...

With DVDRflash.exe


with Pioneer UPGDVD.exe


Are 107D OEM definitely locked ?

It shows Firmware 1.0 (maybe it's just an internal info...).

Seems that you try to flash the wrong drive.

More important:What is the correct and complete commandline you've used?

It's working now .My drive has the E letter..I've updated the command line "DVRFlash.exe -v -f E: R7100107.110 R7100007.110" but for an unknown reason the original G: drive letter was still in the command line..I type again E in the command line and now it's ok !

Thanks !

thats what mine did
but i tried other firmware stuff from you plus the pioneer one just get dos screen for split second ill try tommorrow monday again but disconnect all my other drives apart fron cdrive and the pioneer
maybe the prob as i have 2 external hdrives plus a pullout hd and card readers it see them as drives ill keep you informed
