I’ve tried that download, but when i run it i get a message saying “no matched drive detected” even if i run it in windows compatablity for xp…so i’m stuck.(tried the same download from several places with same results).
Message:- my 2 sony drives are D:(V1.61) and F:(V1.63) , G: is a virtual drive with power iso.

Hi,
perhaps controller related. What Sata controller is used, and how is it configured in Bios? I guess, the Sata controller is not set to IDE compatible. Such might cause issues, especially with firmware updates.
Not 100% sure which you want…
Silicon Image SiI 3132 SATALink Controller
NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller
There’s 3 settings in Bios for sata controller. Disabled Sata Raid
Mine’s set to Sata, i dont see an Ide compatable setting.

NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller There’s 3 settings in Bios for sata controller. Disabled Sata Raid Mine’s set to Sata, i dont see an Ide compatable setting. That’s bad. I would have expected an IDE compatible setting here. Maybe a restriction of your motherboard Bios. In case your drive is connected to the Nvidia Sata controller: You might try to uninstall Nvidia Sata/IDE drivers (run Nvidia installer from control panel/add-remove software to do so) and use MS default drivers.
