I have a sony Vaio desktop comp and was wondering what I needed to update my firmware for this DVR DRIVE? My current version is 1.10 and I know there is version 1.20 now.I don't know what program I need to flash this drive and I don't know the steps either.If anyone can help I would be greatly appreciated. The reason I want to update my firmware on this drive is because I just purchased some Verbatim 16X DVD+R discs with the writable surface and I don't want to burn my DVD drive.Please help. Thanks
Try this site; see if that helps: http://www.pioneeraus.com.au/computer/firmware.html Also ck this site out for instructions on flashing firmware. While I know this is not your pioneer model number, it still follows the pioneer flashing method... http://wwwbsc.pioneer.co.jp/product-e/ibs/device_e/update_e.html Good Luck. PS: Some Sony's have OEM burners and the Pioneer flashing program doesn't recognize the target drive. Hopefully yours is not the case....
I download the firmware update and then open the firmware file and click on install but it tells me AVAILABLE TARGET IS NOT FOUND.I don't know what to do because I really need to update my firmware.I have windows XP.I just don't know what to do at this point so if anybody has an answer please help.Thanks LABOY for the help.
I was hoping that would not be the case. You may want to try the Sony site to see if there are any firmware updates for your particular model. Go here and enter your model #: http://esupport.sony.com/ Or you could call Sony technical support and ask them for help. Also it may be possible to update with a hacked firmware from some of the unofficial sites. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1898 Sorry, I had this same problem with my Sony VAIO and its Pioneer 106D installed. It was the oem version and sony said contact pioneer and pioneer said contact sony.
Well nothing worked.I tried DVRFlash and still nothing.I think I'm just going to take it in to my local Best Buy and have them do it for me.Thanks again LABOY for all the help.
