Go to this website and select the dos cd boot image you want to burn. then use sonic to burn the image like you were prompted to do. burn the firmware update to another cd and just insert it after pc boots and run the update.

There is a way to add the update file to the dos boot cd but this way is easier for novice user like you.

Hi, What i would have done there, was to burn the update using the ISO, and then booted off the cd. With the latest update from Seagate you have to do that.

I don't recall him saying an iso file was available for the patch. Is there?

Hi SlamX, The link he gave us does not work. When  downloaded the patch for my drive, i had  to burn to ISO.

Hah! good point. shame on this lousy forum for not taking suggestions for change. like dating the original post so this does not happen.

also have a feature like old forum to go back to the post page after you replay....still not listening.

Fellows, I tried really hard to stay quiet, but Robin's comments on the link just pushed me over the edge.  Have either of you noticed that this post is more than two years old?  I would have been surprised if any of the links worked.

Hi JackShack, Nice one about the link. LOL Should have noticed it myself, no wonder the link would not work.
