Firmware Upgrade Caution
What should I mainly have in mind before trying a firmware update?

Before any flashload procedure: 1. Be sure the firmware to load is correct. 2. If available, find out the backdoor procedure for recovery. 3. Do NOT use "interrupted load" techniques (for ID changing etc.) unlees they are KNOWN to work 4. Ensure that things are set up as advised - usually DMA off for drives, usually a PURE DOS BOOT for motherboard BIOS and drives with DOS mode loader software. 5. Ensure that power is stable 6. What do you expect it to fix? - if nothing, why bother?
