If the drive is really dead I guess you cant fix the firmware with an update. [B)]

So I would say it's time to email HP and tell them what happend. Or maybe it would be better to call them. I dont know, but they may send you a new drive or fix the one you have if it's under warrenty.

Maybe this time I wont get yelled at by Mods for trying to help.

Luna not sure what you were "yelled" about, however we are here to help, and will continue you to so in the best "spirit" that we can provide to you.....

Ron, now on to the problem, is this an IDE drive, the model number would suggest so... and I am "sure" that HP will be of no help to you in this matter, as anytime a flash is accomplished, it is "at will" which means they don't support it....

However, if you "email" me at MP3Mogul@cox.net I will send you a little file (JPEG) that will show you how to reflash the drive with the appropriate firmware (you will need to obtain it).

Thanks for the post, and welcome to the Forum.
