60gb 7200RPM HDD firmware update...

#1 Post by UTCowMan » Mon May 16, 2005 4:09 pm

I have a Compaq x1000 that I currently am running my HDD in, but I'm getting my T41 today. Do I need to apply the firmware update to make this harddrive work correctly inside my new computer? What is the firmware update for really? I saw it on the bottom of Bill's main page, but I can't really tell what it does :-/. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

By the way, as the subject says, it's a Hitachi Travelstar 60GB 7200RPM drive....

Are you getting rid of your X1000 then?
My motherboard died :(. I need to find a replacement.
