    I guess we cannot put it in the primary drive space?

    then how can we update its firmware? possible to update in the primary space and update using dos mode?

    thanks,
    Kevin

    ^I'm having a hard time following all your posts. In the z, you can update using dos utility. If you want to do it in a desktop, you need a 1.8" to 2.5" converter or cable...ensuring you get one that handles 5V to 3.3V conversion properly.
