new Firmware upgrade problem

[Jimbd]

When I try to flash the bios with the new firware utility in Win 98se and Win 2000(dual boot)
for the Ricoh MP9120A DVD/CDRW drive firmware 1.3 (current is 1.1)

It says "unable set the drive in Up Mode"

"please select tareget drive" . the firmware is not getting upgraded. I have not set the DVD region yet.

What does it mean and how to upgrade the firmware the problem?

do you have anything else connected to the same ide channel?

Dave, thanks for your response i could really use some help here. I also need to flash the region free flash as well (that later).

No, nothing is connected to that ide channel. I use a Abit VP6 dual cpu motherboard with ide raid(not using raid config though).

So my ATA -100 hard drive is on a 80 pin cable as IDE 3 and the Ricoh MP9120A DVD/CDRW drive is on the seperate channel/cable as ide 1 as Master.

Does one assume this should be as slave ?
