Can this be done with any live linux distro? Can't get parted magic to start.

Sure can! Just open the terminal and use the exact commands as specified in the guide.

Just effort to pull everything for 2 different systems to do it! OCZ should make it so we can do it on the drive were running as we once could or a boot option via USB as writing new discs everytime take the well yeah!

Thank Bunyan. I will use ubuntu to do the firmware upgrade tonight.

Let us know if everything goes alright!

Updating or using Secure Erase has to be done within a suitable SATA controller, enabled with ACHI. If it were installed into a macbook which allows AHCI, then boot into a live cd and it will work just fine.

Hi Bunyan.

I tried wth ubuntu and I was getting the same error, as the drive was frozen, I tried all the tricks that I tried when I was using Partition Magic.

So for my final try I went bac to Partition Magic and the drive was not frozen and the internet was working on ethernet. So I am finally happy and updated the firmware to 1.32

I would like to thank you so much for your patients and help. You are a BIG STAR.

Bashy

Glad it worked good sir!! Enjoy your newly updated solid state drive

Glad everyone seems to be able to update the firmware with ease.

As for which option to go for;

-Both contain a low level element of risk.

-A live CD only runs from the memory, so in essence should be more stable, not to say that it will be 100% etc.

-If you are paranoid, make safety precautions, resetting a overclock etc whilst flashing.

-My only regard to Windows is, other applications could pop up, hard drive lock up, blue screen, anything really.

there has not been a firmware release for quite some time now. Seems 1.32 is doing an excellent job!

Supernaut91 · 5 May 2011 at 23:39

Updating log now

Supernaut91 · 5 May 2011 at 23:41

Updated guide, cheers for the heads up Rensin!

Supernaut91 · 8 May 2011 at 09:30

Wouldn't mind a score that would give me 7.9

Supernaut91 · 8 May 2011 at 15:04

Same issue i used to have. Your only option is to take it out and update on a board with ahci enabled. Some say that you can pull the power when you see the penquin when you load parted magic, this disables the AHCI check and may work.

What i did was insert the drive into my dads machine and update. A huge hassle i know.

Just thought I would let you guys know that 1.35 is now available for download.

Ooooh. Wonder if it fixes S3 sleep resume at last. >_>

Not sure buddy, although I am certain my drive is slightly faster now (boot times) :cool:

Supernaut91 · 27 Sep 2011 at 13:45

It's a psychological thing from my perspective. Aha I guess I just like updating things.

Supernaut91 · 28 Sep 2011 at 10:32

How is performance? Mine is still running great

Supernaut91 · 15 Oct 2011 at 09:39

Anyone updated to 1.35 then?
