"Unsupported Drive Type HP"

This is where i'm stuck "Unsupported Drive Type HP" What can i do to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance....

This firmwares/types are not supported and do you really think they are suitable for yourt burner anyway??
If, then you can use the official flasher (coming) with them.

PS: Don't use the option -vf.
Either use -f, -v or -ff if necessary.

I'm sorry but i'm a little confuse with your reply, This flasher does not support HP type? And what do you mean by "then you can use the official (coming) with them?

I tried using UPGK15 with 1.17 flash and it tell me "availeble target not found"

you cannot use that on a HP oem Drive, you need firmware from HP, if your using DVRFlash, you would need to enter the force flashing paramater -ff

I told you........... they MUST be ALL in a real (same) folder, otherwise you must specify all real paths.

Hello
Sorry to ask a stupid question. Let me know if I can find an answer somewhere else, if you think this is the wrong place.

I have on a mac a DVR-108 and the current firmware is 1.18.
I found an updated firmware and I wat to update it, because i can't burn DVD at a faster speed than 4x.
I put in the same folder in DVRFlash the updated firmware and the name is R8100108.120 But I don'y uderstand what i should write at the end:

Can you please tell me how to type the correct command?

Many thanks
Marcello

Marcello,

welcome to rpc1.org!
First things first...is your burner running on DMA and which DMA mode is it on?
Also, please post brand and mediacode/MID of the discs you have used.
You can find out the MID by using Nero cd dvd speed or dvd.identifier.

May thanks!!

I have a mac, not a PC. I don't know what is a DMA... But I learn fast!

any help is appreciated.
Marcello

Check this and give us some info here.

so forgive me if I don't get it. Should I type:
Dvrflash -v A:
?

If you feel this discussion is too basic and that I don't want to loose time, let me know. I have no experience with the termial

Dvrflash -v A: is right then.

It seems the command is not accepted, when I press return I logout...:
