 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.
