Hi I've had this DVD-RW drive for some months now. I've really only been using 4x media on it since i got it and when i came to burn on 8x media today and it wouldn't let me burn above 4x. So i figured time for a firmware update. i downloaded the latest firmware from pioneer and then ran the updater and it said "available device is not found", I've also tried updating by booting from a DOS startup disk and got the same results. I've followed the instructions to the letter including putting the drive in as secondary master. I also tried both procedures in another pc and got the same results. I'm seriously thinking my drive may be faulty. Any ideas? I'm running windows xp pro.
