    Good Day guys!

    The 002 firmware for the crucial m4 is out and crucial fixed the LPM problem that plagued all of us m4 users. I have a BIG BIG problem though. im using my m4 in my m14x, and i have a HD installed on my optical bay. since the firmware update files are .iso, is there a way for me install the update using a usb? i've tried using unetbootin and creating a windows 98 bootable usb, but they do not work. can anyone help out?

    Thanks!

    If the files are small enough, try making a USB key bootable with the trial version of UltraISO.

    Also, how do you know that the LPM problem is fixed, if you haven't done it yet? :)

    When I did the same operation on my C300 I simply pulled the HDD (the SSD was the boot/OS disk) and put back in the optical drive while I upgraded the BIOS.

    Updating firmware has nothing to do with OS? Because If someone update firmware and in middle its freezing, it would be very bad...mayby?

    Updating firmware most likely does not have to do anything with the OS, but it does have to do with the drive, which is what is causing the problem in the first place :p
