garrettoomey Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I use acronis and restore 1 partition at a time. While restoring the MSV partition, I expand it. Good Luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aznpinoyd Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I've been reading through this thread and want to do this upgrade on my Z1 but looking to buy a new hard drive. Any suggestions? Â Most of the Toshiba hard drive models I see in the thread are older models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 The older models are the ones that are known to work without issue. The Z can only use about 50gb of any drive do to the Pioneer database limitation of 400 albums/artists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznpinoyd Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Thanks for the reply garrettoomey. I'll just use my Z1 OEM drive for now. Â I successfully updated from my Z1 to the Z3 with this thread. I used my Windows 7 Desktop and was pretty simple to upgrade. Â The only issue I have sometimes is when I'm driving with my navigation it sometimes doesn't show me on the right street but autocorrects itself after driving for a little bit. Any ideas what would cause that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psphackeraod Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 sry if it says somewhere on here, i read the first 6 pages and stopped. i understand this somewhat, but i still have a few questions i was hoping someone could answer for me.  i have a z1 and i did the blutooth update so i could use the 2 wire ground bypass  is my unit capable of doing this update, and is there any other steps i need to do cause its older then the z2 and z3?  i also heard someone say you can update it to be like a z3, does that just mean this with the map updates?  also if i do this, can i remove the stupid nag warning messages that pop up?  thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Yes, you can do this upgrade. All instructions on the 1st couple of pages. No, you won't be able to remove the nag screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lendy Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi, Does anyone know when and if Pioneer will release 2010 Maps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 We don't know for sure. Based on their current trend, I would not expect another map update for the Z series until Fall 2010. The 2009 maps were not released until the end of Sept 2009. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psphackeraod Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 hi, i did the $5 unlock so i lost all data my partitions were gone, so i remade them, the program was putting the data all i n one partition, so i did it all myself and the z1 i have is not booting. what did i do wrong? Â what do i have to do to the partitions to set them up? and how do i get the data in the right spots? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 If you follow the directions and use the correct software (Acronis), you will not have to create the partitions. Acronis will create the 4 partitions, and restore the data in one restore function. You should not have to create any partitions manually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â im using the acronis, and it made one partion and put the partions into folders on,it when i tried to direct it, and when i had it go to original loctation it put it on my drvie c on my pc.

garrettoomey Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 You are not using Acronis correctly to RESTORE the image. I use an older version, so maybe someone else with the current version can assist. You may also check the Acronis forums for help. In a nutshell: Select RESTORE from image, select the first file in the image set, select the Avic Z drive as the restore point (deleting any partitions), use defualt settings, go.
