firmware update for fujitsu HDD to work in T43

#1 Post by richk » Fri Feb 09, 2007 11:52 pm

I have read the long post in the top of this section and the references to other posts that talk about forcing the firmware updater (FW.EXE) to work, but that doesn't seem to apply to what I see for Fujitsu drives. One of the supported drives is MHT2060AT. When I look at the FW.PRO file, the format of the lines related to the Fujitsu drives is different from the examples. Has anyone gotten these to work?

Thanks

I'm not sure if it's considered poor form to answer your own question, but I got it to work and maybe this will help someone else. . I was working with a MHT2060AT. The disk contained no checksum table and no version control file, so waited for the floppy program to tell me he couldn't do anything and that I should reboot, I simply ran the updater and give one parameter, the binary image. My command line was as follows:
HFUF04 VA8431.BIN
It flashed the drive and the 2010 went away.

Several times I have solved my own problems awaiting suggestions on posts in these forums. It is always a good idea to post the solution that you have found. You would be surprised at how often people have the same problems, and the search function enables others to find your solution and use it.
