ozza, Hard Drive Firmware are written to the surface of the disk (platters) ....
You can't just flash the firmware with a programmer.
Also firmware is specific for your drive only, you can't replace all firmware with the firmware of another drive....

Hi,
ROM in this HDD (Xenon) NOT contain adaptive information.
The one, and only "adaptive" information is head map...

:arrow: ozza U can use this ROM - of course U must play with head map..., but I hope it's not a problem for U...

The ROM in WD is not replaceable based on the information in the model number!
It can have adaptives or special and unique configurations too.

On some models in WD, if you loose the ROM it is really hard to solve the problem!
