Quick question on finding donor drive for fujitsu

March 25th, 2010, 11:17

I read from the article on finding a donor drive that I should:

First character in firmware revision (xx-Xxxx) should match

For FUJITSU drives

Now, I am not entirely sure why the 3rd X is capitalized (is that the first character that I should be looking at?)

Also, I am not sure where to find the firmware revision on my hard disk:

The one on the article said that is should be in the format xx-xxxx, but I dont see any in that format. I see a "REV" but the string is longer than 2+4 characters.

The information you read is too old.

The firmware for Fujitsu is below the REV NO. in the picture xxxxxx - xxxxxxxx

not detected by BIOS.

Opened up the drive, SA is scratched. Is this still recoverable?

so should I go ahead and try to find a donor drive? So how do I match the drive? do I really need the same apple drive as one poster suggested?
