Linux iso
See link in post 198 under download the following ISO image
unzip & burn image to CD as iso. {Windows disc image burner works just fine}When booted to gives you a Parted Magic linux graphical interface that will allow easy firmware update of a boot drive with OS on; no data loss but backup just i case
. Will also Secure Erase a drive prior to reinstalling OS. Format alone not advised.
OCZ Tools [2.37 is latest] will not work with boot drive.
I have flashed to 2.08 this lunchtime. Very easy
no use of Terminal required.
A new firmware is due within next 7 days to resolve cold boot & BSOD issues. (hopefully)
It is recommended by OCZ that for both ICH9R & 10R(Sandybridge?) chipsets plus AMD mobo's use MS AHCI drivers & NOT intel or AMD ones.
If you don't have issues best do nothing
