#172: samsung hdd corrupt firmware -------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: rsb@… | Owner: stepan@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: coreboot | Keywords: Dependencies: | Patch Status: there is no patch -------------------------------+-------------------------------------- This is a shot in the dark, but worth a try from my perspective...
My Samsung HDD died recently due to firmware error. I found the firmware upgrade and the method to upgrade the firmware. Problem is, since the disk is currently unable to "introduce its self" to the BIOS, the firmware patch / upgrade is for now useless.
My question: Is there a way to write to the firmware section of HDD or make BIOS recognise it as a device (gets IRQ or something), then I can insert the firmware upgrade CD and possibly have the latest version written to the firmware section of disk.
