Pioneer 104s DVDROM Firmware upgrade not working...

[HiBob]

Hi everyone, I have version 1.18 for my Pioneer dvdrom .....and I have downloaded a firmware update from the Pioneer site and also tried to update with a region free version from

http://pioneerdvd.rpc1.org/#PIONEER_IDE

I also downloaded the real update from Pioneer.....

The region free version is 2.06 and the pioneer version is 2.02 , I have tried using both of their update programs.....switching the drive from Secondary master to secondary slave I have tried /n as 1,2,3 regardless.......is there something I'm not doing right?
I read the instructions through many times and I have built my computer...so I am not a daft computer user....


Anything at this point would be great, and yes, the sticker on the drive says 104s...

would it have to do with DMA settings or something in the BIOS? thanks for anything in any case!!!

well, not only did I post in the wrong section but I found out how to slove my problem ......sort of ...

I tried changing in bios the drive to cdrom, but this doesn't seem to work... anyone have any ideas, I have a P4P800-E deluxe ASUS MB, anything at this point would help, thanks guys

well, not only did I post in the wrong section ...

did move it;

about flash problem in general:
IAA (Intel Application Accelerator) shouldn't be installed, DMA off, DVD-RW should be master at the 2. channel, slave drive should be disconnected temporary; follow exactly the recommendations written in the flashers ReadMe file;
