Hi, could someone help me out with this? I have a pioneer dvd-rw DVR-104 drive. I also am using the latest versions of dvd shrink and dvd decryptor. I am using Verbatim dvd-r discs. Why am I getting this message when i insert a blank one in my drive? I have already downloaded the firmware for my drive...this is getting very irritating...any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Can you post a burn log?

Are you using the 1.41 firmware?

Have you tried another brand of disc's?

Can you give us more information about those Verbatim disc's?

Did you read the FAQ?
http://www.pioneeraus.com.au/computer/faqs/faq_32.html
First make sure that you do not have a disk in the drive.

See this also.

Like it says there. Uploading the firmware via DOS: If the firmware uploader can not recognise the DVR-A04/104
You may have to update using a boot disk and running it from DOS.

Did you try the Official Flash utilities from here?
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=298

Is your burner the master device on it's IDE channel? They sometimes have to be the master device and only device on a IDE channel to flash the firmware. I don't have pioneer, so I can't help you any further. Maybe a pioneer owner who has done it will see this and help.
