Uploading ROM

August 11th, 2008, 10:41

Hello friends,

My question is which parameters should I match to upload a ROM file ?

Is it full model parameters only ? or full DCM parameters only ? or both ?

thanks for any help

The same ROM version, if possible.

If unknown . . . . as with a blown ROM . . . . with WD drives, the same and complete model number (e.g. WD400BB-23JHC0) is often enough. To get closer you can match DCM and date but it's not usually necessary in my experience.
