Steps to reload firmware on to a maxtor harddisk

[seeprakash]

Hi Gurus,

Could someone brief me the exact steps to reload the firmware on to a maxtor harddisk.

I am really confused with the topic.

I have a PC 3000(ISA) card and the necessary softwares,interfaces.

Of course a bad malfunctioning maxtor 40GB HDD,which gets detected in bios.

But it is not booting and googled the web and it is confirmed that the firmware is to be reloaded.

Prakash

I doubt your copy of PC3k is legitimate. But if it is, READ THE MANUAL!

Measure out 2 1/2 cups of flour.
Fill a big bowl half full with water.
Put pc3kisa card in bowl.
Mix well.
Cook at 458 F for 1 hour.
Take our of oven and let sit for 15 mins.
Take pc3kisa card out and enjoy.

You forgot to put the drive ...

That recipe is secret...

The card came with docs. Anyway, you have to know what's malfunctioning FIRST. Need the drive or the data?

If it is recognized fine in the BIOS then you probably don't need to mess with the firmware.
