[qanda]This thread is about the Pioneer DVR-115D / DVR-1910. Click here to see full specs[/qanda]Replaced internal DVD today as previous one stopped working. Have done this before and found it easy as. With the Pioneer DVR-115D today though, the computer recognises it on the device manager but says that windows cannot start the device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. I have tried everything I can think of (uninstalling and reinstalling, downloading a new driver - which says “available target is not found”, paid for a driver scan and download program which was a waste of money and have run registry scans. Any other ideas or do I have to throw it away and buy another brand and try again.
Welcome to the forum 
Is there an error code number in Device Manager for the Pioneer?
You have downloaded a WRONG FIRMWARE.
First fix the recognition problems, buy an 80 wire ide cable and use it.
