sober Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) Hi, Im trying to burn SUSE-10.0-LiveDVD.iso with DvD+R cds, on a XP SP2. Ive tried many brands of cds and burners, I still get fkn errors lol, although I have got the furthest in to burning an .iso file with ImgBurn compared to anyother software. Its annoying cos its not an old computer, Btw my "error" is .. Failed to Write Sectors 768 - 799 - Power Calibration Area Error. Any help would be appreciated.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah, that one of annoying things about old pioneer updates! The flash update program doesn't work with many IDE drivers. Use this 3rd party flasher instead. http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=36448 Just extract dvrflash.exe to the folder you extracted the real pioneer flasher/firmware to. The from the command prompt window, change to that directory. ie. type: cd \DVR107D\FW122 The prompt should then say C:\DVR107D\FW122> Then type: dvrflash g: R7100107.122 Follow any onscreen prompts (cant help you any more because I don't have a 107 installed!)

sober Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanx for the help n tha, I just lost all the shit off my hard drive bout 4 hours ago lol...Installin that 3rd party flasher thing windows wouldnt start up btw I have now reformatted and re-installed XP-SP2.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 lol how did you manage to lose stuff?! That program is just an exe within a zip file! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Those old Pioneers are nice and straightforward to flash then eh ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 They should be... but the upgrade tool bombs out if you're using anything but the default Microsoft IDE drivers. It's ok now with the Pioneer 110 firmware updates though, they seem to work all the time. You can force 9x compatibility via the exe's properties and then it'll use ASPI rather than SPTI. It works ok then. I just wasn't sure if sober would have Adaptecs ASPI installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Hi, so do i need to download.. Adaptecs ASPI ? ..or shall I just get a new external cd copier ? Edited March 3, 2006 by sober Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Well, besides just buying a new drive (which you'd probably have to also update anyway), you have 2 choices. 1. Use DVRFlash 2. Install Adaptec ASPI, and switch the DVRFlash.exe program into Win 9x Compatibility mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi, I tried that ASPI n it never worked either .. btw the text ive put in brackets, do i copy that exactly as it is in to command prompt or do i have to put the name of the drive i want to flash where it says cd ? ( cd \DVR107D\FW122 ) The prompt should then say C:\DVR107D\FW122> Then type: dvrflash g: R7100107.122 Follow any onscreen prompts (cant help you any more because I don't have a 107 installed!)

dontasciime Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) it may be your trying to use the flash file from an xlb on a non xlb drive or the other way round etc. and before you flash try just burning those discs at 6x max as on one of my pioneer drives those discs bomb, and if you have a flash in that allows higher burning than normal, drop the max speed to burn them down to the rated speed of discs, ie if they are 4x max but your using a hacked flash to allow higher burning then just use rated speed.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 When you run the official pioneer firmware thing you downloaded, it should have extracted it to C:\DVR107D\FW122 When you bring up the command prompt, you should already be 'in' the C: drive so you type that command exactly as I wrote it. CD \DVR107D\FW122 All that'll do is change the 'working' directory to C:\DVR107D\FW122 'CD' standing for Change Directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Just extract dvrflash.exe to the folder you extracted the real pioneer flasher/firmware to. Did you forget to do that bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 download this from my ftp then extract it to your desktop. read the read me, as i have set up the drive letter to be G: as indicated in your posts, etc, run dvrflash by double clicking, it will tell you the drive letter of your pioneer drive. If it says G: then run the file called ascii. then follow onscreen prompts. This is at your own risk just to cover everyones back, also dvrflash asks you to accept anyways. check that the firmware inc is the same for your drive im 99.9% certain it is, as indicated in the posts. someone else may check to be sure. do not have a disc in the 107 when you flash it, make sure if you got key electric meter its got some money on it. cannot remember if your allowed to have cd tray open or not, i have flash before on pioneer with draw open and closed and flash was successful, someone else will tell you for sure if you do some searches.

sober Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 I tried tha like in the pic but it said k I think.. so does that mean that I got 107xlb and not 107d ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 What i mean is, if you'd extracted the dvrflash.exe program to that folder, you wouldn't have gotten that error. So something went wrong somewhere... maybe you extracted it with path names and it's now in a subfolder of the real pioneer one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
