Is my new 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD affected?
On Sat, 17 Jan 2009 14:50:53 -0800, Ant put finger
to keyboard and composed: I used Hard Drive Inspector program, in updated Windows XP Pro. SP3, to get details about my two Seagate HDDs ... I notice that the current temperature is actually stored in the lower order bits of the raw value. The high order bits must be used for some other purpose. This would account for the apparently absurd figures. I suspect that the raw seek error rate value may be similarly affected.

Is my new 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD affected?
Damnit!
OK, I took a chance after doing data backups (not the drives) and it FAILED! I think the firmware upgrader crashed too. I got (don't have a digital camera to get everything): Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV Page fault at eip=0000 6683 error=0004 .. .. bunch of memory addresses .. Error: Specific model not found. ST35000320AS expected Cycle power to continue... So, I turned PC off and turned on. HDD is still there (whew), but still at SD15. What the heck?! How do I upgrade if it is crashing(?).

Is my new 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD affected?
Previously Ant wrote:
Is it true that I only can have one HDD connected to upgrade firmware? I have two SATA Seagate HDDs (other one is a 320 GB) hooked up. Is that why the upgrader is crashing?

It is also possible that they wanted to avoid presenting people with a choice on which HDD to patch. If so, it was paranoid or incompetent, because they can query the firmware version before patching. But bad user interfaces are prevalent. This seems to be just one more example. At least it did not kill the drive... Arno

On Sun, 18 Jan 2009 23:32:54 -0800, Ant put finger
to keyboard and composed: Is it true that I only can have one HDD connected to upgrade firmware? I have two SATA Seagate HDDs (other one is a 320 GB) hooked up. Is that why the upgrader is crashing? The readme.txt file states ... "Disconnect all PATA or SATA devices from the system, except the device needing the firmware update." I don't know if this is strictly necessary, or whether it is only a safety measure. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

Is my new 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD affected?
On Sun, 18 Jan 2009 23:16:56 -0800, Ant put finger
to keyboard and composed: Damnit! OK, I took a chance after doing data backups (not the drives) and it FAILED! I think the firmware upgrader crashed too. I got (don't have a digital camera to get everything): Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV Page fault at eip=0000 6683 error=0004 . . bunch of memory addresses . Error: Specific model not found. ST35000320AS expected Shouldn't that be ST3500320AS? (one too many zeroes) What do you see if you choose the following option in the menu? S) Scan ATA devices BTW, Hard Drive Inspector reports the model number as "500320AS". Is this what the drive reports, or does HDI drop the "ST3" prefix? Does the BIOS POST see the ST3 prefix? If the drive is actually identifying itself as "500320AS" rather than "ST3500320AS", then you could edit the "set model" line in the flash.bat file accordingly. I'd be *very* wary of doing this, though. :SEAFLASH4 set model=ST3500320AS -- change to set model=500320AS %exe% -m %family% -f %firmware% -i %model% %options% if errorlevel 2 goto WRONGMODEL if errorlevel 1 goto ERROR goto DONE Cycle power to continue... So, I turned PC off and turned on. HDD is still there (whew), but still at SD15. What the heck?! How do I upgrade if it is crashing(?). On 1/18/2009 9:03 PM PT, Ant typed: FYI. Seagate released the firmwares: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/cr...p?DocId=207951 from http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/...essage.id=5186 I am scared to try it. Hehe, but then I have the model and old firmware listed. DAH!

This forum message shows some screen shots of the problem: http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/...essage.id=5302 Do you get the same SIGSEGV error if you deliberately select the wrong model? If not, then this would suggest that the flash upgrade utility (fdl462a.exe) is bombing out *after* correctly identifying the drive, and that its DOS ERRORLEVEL of 2 is being misinterpreted by flash.bat. Flash.bat assumes that fdl462a.exe returns only two error levels (see below), and it assumes that an error level of 2 always reflects "wrong model". Instead it could be that the flash loader is actually returning an error level of 3, for example. In DOS (or FREEDOS) a test for ERRORLEVEL=2 when it is actually 2 or greater will return a TRUE result. if errorlevel 2 goto WRONGMODEL if errorlevel 1 goto ERROR Try reducing your system memory to only one stick of RAM.
