BallisticMT Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I tried literally everthing under the sun such as the hp usb storage tool and the ms dos files you need to make a bootable usb to ms-dos. I tried formating the ssd under fat and fat 32 and so on even though i need to have it in fat format. i tried changing the boot order and it just says no os found. I just need a clear and concise STEP by STEP way to make a bootable ssd and put the frimware on the usb stick. Its just SO FRUSTRATING:mad:. I have a 4gb sony usb thumbdrive if that means anything.

BallisticMT Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 ok I got the ultimate usb tool to work on the usb stick and was able to boot to free dos. Now, where do I unzip the firmware update on the usb stick since the ultimate usb bootable tool is already on there? do I have to put it in a special directory and once its on there how do I start the firmware update once im in free dos?

Synthohol Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Extract all provided zip files to DOS bootable USB Drive. (You should extract all files into root directory) - It will create Autoexec.bat file and DSRD folder onto USB drive. read the guide, as this was the first instruction! http://forum.corsair.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6257&d=1261099643 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallisticMT Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 ok i dont see any root folder and I tried extracting it to just the G:\ on the thunmb drive and when I get to free-dos just the C:\ appears. Do I need to type in anything special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 oy vey... nope, when you boot from the stick your "g" drive becomes the "c" drive and the only thing you should have to do is hit enter to continue. follow the guide to the letter (no pun intended) and you should be fine :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallisticMT Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 by the way I followed that guide and extracted it to g:\ which already had the ultimate usb stick utility installed to it, rebooted it and NOTHING HAPPEND when I got to free dos.

Synthohol Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 omfg....epic fail. do over.. if you dont see this as soon as it is done booting, you did it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallisticMT Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 by the way your no help at all Synthohol, I had to type in autoexec.bat at the c:\ prompt. you never said that nor did the guide said that. After that the samsumg utility DID START and then it came up with this after I hit enter: Scanning -> Application C:\DSRD\DOSRD1_0.EXE Has caused an exeption: Access Violation EAX=00030E14H EBX=0002FD88H ECX=00002976H EDX=0000Z92BH ESI=00000076H EDI=00085EF8H EBP=00002FCFOH DS=0014H ES=0014H FS=0094H GS0014H EFLAGS=000010246H CS:EIP=00CH:00085E4BH SS:ESP=0014H:0002FCE8H ABNORMAL program termination:Memory Protection Fault CS:EIP=000Ch:0065E4Bh what does this mean?

Synthohol Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 its called autoexec because its supposed to execute automatically. that was my expectation. thats why i kinda poked fun at the seemingly newb mistake. i apologize. as far as the errors, i would unplug all drives except the SSD and try again. you may have to try different SATA ports until it works.

Synthohol Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 i meant the 2 caviars and your optical drive. also forgot to ask, are you having any issues with the drive or just want to update it? also you didnt specify your current firmware level, it may already be ver 2.0?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 6, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 6, 2010 Are you using Free Dos or Dos from Windows 98SE? That error would suggest you are using the incorrect version of DOS. Based on what you have posted may I suggest you just request an RMA and we will update the firmware for you?
