I have been trying for hours to upgrade my Pioneer 107D (OEM) writer to the latest firmware. I am using Windows 98SE.
I have downloaded DVRFlash and the firmware upgrade, saved them all to the same folder and have tried running DVRFlash. Nothing happens except for what looks like a Dos screen poping up for a fraction of a second. These are the instructions that the DVRFlash help file provide:
1/ Download the latest version of DVRFlash and extract the executable you need (either for Windows, DOS or Linux) in the directory where you extracted the patched firmwares
2/ READ THE DVRFLASH INSTRUCTIONS!!!
3/ If you are flashing from windows, and E: is your DVR-107 drive, open a DOS window and type a command like: DVRFlash -v I: R7100007.105 R7100107.105
It seems my computer doesn't have DOS installed, so I can't do this. Has anyone upgraded firmware on a Pioneer 107D - or can anyone provide a method that actually works with Windows 98SE? Thanks.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

try running the flash app from a DOS window. You are running Windows 98SE, which still has DOS in it. Look for a shortcut "MS-DOS Prompt." Or, create a DOS-bootable floppy and copy the flash files to that and flash from DOS.

Thanks for your reply. I have now manged to load MS-DOS and entered the informations as instructed. I get a Pioneer "disclaimer" come up asking if I agree. After entering Y for "Yes", I get a message "// sptxOpen.CreateFile: x2 (2) The system cannot find the file specified. Could not open device \\.\E: I have tried several times, same thing comes up. ANy ideas on what I should do to get this firmware to load?

have you changed the drive letter to the drive letter specific to your drive i.e. your 107 is drive d: so set the the drive to flash to drive d:
have you got a windows signed driver installed allthough im not sure this is really applicable to 98SEWelcome to the REAL world! -
You really need a knowledable friend to do this for you
as the way you are going about it could kill your drive
and I'm not kidding! Using a dos window is the worst advice I've heard for ages
If you really want to do it then you will need a Win32
app such as FUPW9X.exe from Pioneer themselves.
I strongly suggest you get help though -
