Pioneer 104 Not Recognized By Primo Dvd Software

argo · #1 10-07-2002, 13:03

Hello folks,
originally i had a problem installing primo on my pc ,this was bacause i hadn't activated Windows xp which i have now done. (Thanks Dust)
Primo now installs but on start up it says
NO COMPATABLE RECORDER DRIVES ON THIS COMPUTER.

However if you enter the program by clicking okay and then open
disk explorer and drive properties it says

TYPE DVD ROM

DRIVE PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104 FIRMWARE 1.20

CD TEXT READ.

You can copy a gi image to the hard drive but you cannot burn the image back to dvd.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Is it just a bad download of Primo?

THANKS THANKS THANKS.

Argo.

Update the PX Engine from www.veritas.com/us/products/recordnow/drivers/ then Primo DVD should recognise you A04.

I tried the link myself. The download does work but it "thinks" about it for some time so be patient.

M8,

I noticed that your firmware said version '1.20'.

I believe it's up to version number 1.80. Keeping firmware updated has helped me loads with burning problems in the past.

Thanks for all the help guys,
still can't get the page to display i have had this trouble before with certain sites it must be something to do with my internet settings although they seem to me.
Anyway don't worry about it my situation is that i'm waiting for my broadband connection to be established on my other pc when BT finally stop messing around.
I'll be with a different ISP and have a much better set up i just can't do any dvd burning unless i use Nero.
I read somewhere that Nero wasn't as good as Prassi so i'm reluctant to use it.
I also read somewhere that drinking alchol was really damaging to your health so it's forced me to stop READING!!!
Just thought i'd throw that one in for Charlie and Dust.

THANKS THANKS THANKS.
