zorexilore Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 updating SSD to firmware 2.0 and failed? Is there something wrong with the firmware update or my computer or is it just me who's stupid? I recently formated my computer and now I'm using my SSD as a boot drive and for demanding (I think that's how you say it) programs/games and my HDD as a storage drive and I also got a second HDD for backup but it's not in use. After I had installed the OS I wasn't able to enable AHCI and I can't update the firmware. When enabling the AHCI I get disk boot error on boot. When updating firmware 1.I'm browsing for "Corsair_Force_SSD_FW_Update_2.0.pkg". 2. I select the SSD. 3. I click "Download Firmware to Selected Drive" 4. computer restart and in boot I get disk boot error... Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated. sorry if my English is bad.

Wired Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 As per the instructions, right click the exe, run as admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 25, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 25, 2011 There is also a sticky on how to check/change the AHCI setting in Windows. But I would try booting the system with another HDD and use this drive as a second HDD and try the update as Wired stated by running as an Administrator.

zorexilore Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm back with some bad news, I still can't get my drive to update the firmware. I tried to update it on my server computer but nope, I couldn't find the drive even if I ran as admin. I tried the first method with my desktop and my whole computer freezed for an hour and then I turned it off. When I try the alternative method it says "Firmware for this drive not found in the package" when I click "Download firmware to Selected Drive" Please help me.

zorexilore Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Problem solved! I read that sticky you told me about RAM GUY about how to enable AHCI and then I tried it and it all worked very smoothly. I then tried to do the firmware update again one last time, and then BAM! The computer restarted and I got a disk boot failure at first but then I restarted again and it all worked properly. Many thanks you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
