I have the intel SSD x25-m installed on my hdx16t with a clean install of authentic vista.
The funny thing is that I want to update my firmware, so i go onto intel's website and burn the iso file onto a CDR using imgburn.
Now when i boot up the CD from start, I get this message and its stops there forever! It doesn't go anywhere else for about 20 minutes. My CD remains spinning the whole time but no led blinking from the cd drive.
The funny thing was that I thought that maybe my CD was an error, so i popped it into another computer, a dv6000t and what do you know? It brings me all the way to the point where I can say "yes" and scan my computer for a intel SSD.
It's weird why my HDX16t cant do that! Anyone?
Please help.

I have had no success updating the firmware on my 160gb x25-M on my HP HDX18. HP locks out the BIOS so that I can't change to Legacy, Compatibility, or AHCI mode per Intel's instructions. I've tried installing the SSD on a Dell desktop and a Dell laptop where I was able to change the mode as required, but the update software would not recognize the drive (and they were connected properly to a SATA port). My only viable solution at this point is to return the laptop, buy a new one and hope that it has the new firmware. I'm already experiencing slow downs from the fragmentation issue under the old firmware.
Intel SSD Firmware update error!
