oh and maybe u guys should list ur mother boards as well so we have an idea of what boards are causing the issue
There is no a single one positive upgrade of 500GB Cuda so it's almost 100% sure it's not a MB fault. I'm going to sleep now because I have an exam in the morning. I hope when I come back someone from Seagate will answer to our questions...

Yeah, all our 500GB upgraded to SD1A are bricked now. That firmware is corrupt. So.. what are we going to do now?

Only one thing left to do... Wait for Seagate to release a solution to fix it and then sue them

Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, I just wanted to flash one drive, and this tool just flashed BOTH of my 3500320AS drives and bricked them both. Ironically my full backup of my main HD1 was on HD2. NICE! The first version wasnt upgrading and the second "update" just bricked both HDs with my last 5 years of data. God damnit. I read Seagate offers free data rescue in this problem cases. Is that right?

Add me to the list of victims! This drive was fully working when I started. Serial: 6QM01PTM
Model: ST3500320AS
P/N: 9BX154-303
FW: SD15
Date: 09171
Site: SUZH8G Followed instructions to the letter. No raid. The only HD device on the Intel ICH6 controller. Supposedly did the FW update (exit code 0) and asked for power cycle. Immediate <drive failure> BIOS error on start. BIOS still sees it. Tried update again (Seagate scan also sees it, now with SD1A) - same end result. Drive is toast. Thank you Seagate! I needed another doorstop.

@Turribeach While that's partly true, this wouldn't have happened if their firmware upgrade utility wasn't so incompetent and if they tested it before killing everyone's drives. Message Edited by heew00t on 01-19-2009 04:35 PM
