Seagate promises second fault fix in 24 hours

Its a new firmware

Just flashed my (so far problem free) ST3500320AS SD15 to SD1A using the latest firmware. It worked fine. I waited till I saw other people had done it first though! There are plenty of posts in the seagate forums saying it works.

If you bricked your drive using the old SD1A firmware that was taken offline, this new one will bring it back to life, just as long as your BIOS can still see your drive. If your BIOS can't see your drive, you're out of luck.

Graham, if you are worried about vigilante retaliation against your phone, may I suggest a water-based alternative to the more traditional projectile weapon? A cat hit with a water pistol soon learns to appreciate that patch of gravel in your garden as much as you do... It is (at least it appears to be) harmless to the cat --- which may or may not be an attractive quality --- and the cat's keeper will be none-the-wiser. It's also extremely good fun! This method also has the advantage of watering the rest of your garden while you're at it.

Right, I'm off to hide my phone...
