Hi guys.. Good looking forum with some knowledgable people!

I have a maxtor drive being detected as the notorious ROMULUS family instead of the proper model #. Everything I've read says it's a firmware error in the drive and reflashing it should correct it, at least temporarily. Which would be good enough in this case.

My question is this, I have a .rar file with the .ldr and .ram and .rpm files for this drive, but what do I use to write them? I've looked around on the mhdd site quite a bit, but dont see any references on how to write the loader files and so forth? Is there something simple I'm overlooking?

Thanks a bunch.

Here's the drive's info if anyone is interested:
Maxtor 40GB D540X-4D 5400 RPM ULTRA ATA/100
MODEL: 4D040H2
FAMILY: ROMULUS
HDA: 22A
PCBA: 05A
UNIQUE: 11A
CODE: DAH017K0
MFG: 03DEC2001
FIRMWARE: DAH017KZ

hi,
perhaps you would need PC3K to write these to the drive OR any guru here to help you out using mhdd.
