hey everyone i think i need a new firmware because my drive says its a maxtor calypso

used to be this but that doesn't show up any more.. any suggestions?

maxtor 6y230p0

rev yar41bw0

1) are you sure the model you reported is correct?
2) assuming you have a backup of a firmware, how will you put it in your drive?
3) finally, are you thinking by a chance that you will be able to connect the drive let's say to USB like a cell phone and 'revive' it? (totally wrong).

6Y250P0 presumably.

But yes ateam, you need to spend $10,000 on kit and more $$$$ on training how to use it.

Hard drives cannot simply be "flashed" to FIX firmware problems. You can UPDATE a working firmware via s/w alone, but the drive needs to be FULLY functional to allow this.

If the data is required then on this occasion you DO need to send to a pro, if not then just trash the drive.

Hope this is clear enough.
