hi could any1 direct me to original nec firmware for my drive and could they also tell me whether or not this is safe to flash your drive
http://www.micheldeboer.nl/firmware/3530.html It is perfectly safe to flash your drive, but follow the instruction closely.
oh to anyone else reading this, DO NOT use the i-o-data fw as it is the reason for me not having a drive.
Flashing your drive with firmware can fry your drive, especially if you don't read the readme file or know what you are doing.
yeh i did everything perfecttly but i know someone elso who used io-data fw and had problem, i think its not gud fw.
