DVD burner firmware update mac/windows question
I am still trying to learn the Mac system. I am sending this from my windows XP machine. My Mac is a Power Mac G4 and the Mac OS is 10.6 recently updated from 10.5.5 if my memory serves me right....I think.)
This Mac machine has a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-115D burner. The firmware is version 1.13.
The most recent firmware version for this burner is 1.22.
From what I have read so far the firmware update procedure is a lot more complicated in the Mac system then it is from within Windows, either way, it's too complex for me at this early stage of my learning.
As it turns out, the removal of the burner from the Mac is not too complicated and twice as easy to fit it to the windows XP machine.
Now my question:
If I move the burner to the Windows XP machine and update the firmware from there, will I achieve the same desired result? In other words, will I have update the firmware to version 1.22 and workable with this firmware when replaced back into the Mac machine?
