Savvio, Cheetah, and Constellation Enterprise Server & Storage (SCSI/FC/SAS/SATA) drives

[DEFLORATOR]

fzabkar,

Yeah, right. I did't modify contents (like autoexec.bat) assuming that a man will deal with it by himself.

Main files are still there:

- Retail 0008 LOD firmware,

- Flasher FASTWTFW.EXE

- ASPI drivers for a HBA controller

Other job like editing autoexec.bat or config.sys is easy and may be done by anybody at his own discretion.

DEFLORATOR, fzabkar

I am trying to update my HP and Netapp Branded Drives to Seagate Retail 008 Firmware but everytime I follow your instructions it giver me an " ERROR: The firmware file is missing or incorrect! " 

Any Help is Appreciated !

[fzabkar]

@wipack, if you have edited the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, then I can only imagine that FreeDOS doesn't like long filenames.

At the FreeDOS prompt, type ...

DIR *.LOD

Do you see "15K7_SAS0008.LOD" or "15K7_S~1.LOD"?

If the latter, then edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file accordingly. Alternatively you could edit the BAT file and rename the LOD file using an 8.3 format, eg "15K7SAS8.LOD".

@fzabkar, That did it. Renaming the file I was able to flash the Netapp branded drive to Retail 0008

BUT

I have 2 New HP branded drives with firmware HPS1 that I trying to Flash Retail 0008 and it gives me a ERROR 05:26

Please Help !
