    I am looking for the original SD13 firmware for my ST9320421AS hard drive. If you own a same drive, than would you please to upload the firmware of it and share with me?

    Firmwares are often OEM specific, especially with HDDs.

    Additionally, you should provide detailled information how to dump the firmware from a drive (in case this is possible at all).

    I have a 320GB Seagate 7200.3 but not sure what the firmware is, I'll check. But I'm not sure how to extract the existing firmware. I'll look.

    Hi, You can check the firmware version with Aida, Everest or Hard disk sentinel and more. I have got the DE17 firmware from Dell, I think it should offer dump old bios before flashing. But give me time to make sure it dumps old bios before you start the process. Thanks!
