[Stefanap81]

hello Guys,

I have a problem with my maxtor:

DiamondMax 17
Model: 6G160P0
160GB ATA/133 HDD

the HD don't work and is seen in BIOS like Maxtor SHASTA


I need FIRMWARE AND LOADER (FIRMWARE FLASHER). If anyone can share the loader and firmware i woud appreciate it.


Thank you very much.

Flash what?

No such thing as "firmware flasher".

This is a hard drive, not a mobile phone.

You need expensive ($1,000's) to fix this firmware problem.

Oh, and training....experience...etc

[Stefanap81]

what??

no no, i need firmware and loader, sorry for flasher, i was confused.

[HDD Spaz]

how is giving firmware and loader to someone who exposes themselves in a public place going to repair the hard drive? Have I missed something?

[BlackST]

Yes

[Stefanap81]

?????

i don't handstand...

firmware is not free????

I see other post like this, and there wasn't problem:

firmware-for-grizzly-6h500f0-needed-t11879.html

why????

[BlackST]

If you have SD or ACE tools it won't be a problem, I think.

There's one thing in supplying firmware, I can do this (or any pro on this forum) for free for sure.

Another thing is applying it. There is NO SUCH THING as a universal flash update for hard drives. You need something like PC3000 or Salvation PLUS knowledge to know WHICH modules within the f/w to update/repair. One mistake and your HDD could be toast beyond repair.

[BlackST]

Agree.
