bodhi is right, don't do any updates via the FAT+. Always, always, always, I can't stress enough, always update using the Cold Method.
Also, don't waste your time looking to update now. There won't be a worth while update for probably another month.
As a new owner, please clarify for me . . . When doing a cold method update, how long does one typically hold down the reset button before the Seagate logo comes on the screen? On my unit (its having problems as explained in another thread) the instant I plug in the power cord the logo appears on screen. There is no delay. It also refuses to do a cold update at this point. When I try, the logo on the unit flashes amber and the updating screen never shows.
This unit is going back for replacement for this and other problems but I'd like to know what to expect when my replacment unit needs to be updated to the fabulous, new, improved, all-bugs-fixed, miraculous FW that will be released soon. Okay . . . maybe just improved. But that's OK too!

I tried keeping an open mind but everytime I leaned over, something I knew fell out.
you always see that when there is a new FW release. But on-line update will mess up your device.
