So here is my problem: I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109 and I downloaded the DVR109_FW158EU driver update and when I try installing it, it tells me to choose the destination, so I use the default one which is C:\DVR109\FW158EU and I get this error message: ///ODD Firmware Update Utility Ver2.27D Available Target is not found. So Im guessing that the location of my DVD burner is somewhere else but I dont know where to find it, could you guys plz help?
Make sure you got the correct firmware version,there's 4 different ones for the Pioneer 109. Here's some info: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2017 1.58 for some internals.Some's got the 8.58 and the externals have some different ones as well. Match your current firmware to the latest available for your drive. I'm not sure of the correct process,but when I update my benqs-I find the latest correct firmware version,download it to zip folder-and remember where they go. After downloading,close everything out,make sure no disc in in the drive,find that zip folder,open,and follow the directions carefully. Also make sure of no chance for power interuptions-storms. Some firmware is different,may have to have extra programs/utilities to open them up.
