Hi all,

Can anyone help me to get the required program and firmware to fix this drive. The BIOS recognises it as ROMULUS, and from reading current posts this means the firmware is corrupted. I have searched the web and found various firmware files, but I have more difficulty in finding the correct loader.

Any additional instructions required would be much appreciated.

TIA.

Thanks for the reply but I am unable to access this site.

Are you sure the url address is correct?

Can anyone help me please!!!!

I've located the site http://down.intohard.com/SoftList/Catal ... ime_1.html and it contains the same stuff I already have, .ldr and .ram files some password protected.

I need the loader program and instructions please.

Loader is a .ldr file that is used by PC3000 or a similar program to make accessible a drive with damaged Service Area (SA). Just after that you can examine and repair SA. Nobody can give you simple instuctions how to impement such a repair. You'll need much knowledge, experience and expensive software for this.
