Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB 5400 RPM working good so far

The Samsung hard drive has to be connected via a SATA cable.. not via USB in a dock. I wished that would work but unfortunately it doesn't. If the tower only has an IDE connect for hard drives/cd rom then that won't work. You need a PC that has a SATA controller in it.

I found a cheap PC at Walmart that has a SATA controller. The internal HD and CDRom connects via SATA. I created the USB thumb drive with the DOS boot and the Samsung patch executable. I opened up the case and disconnected the CDRom as it was easiest to get to. I hooked up the Samsung HD to the SATA cable that was connected to the CDRom. After that I booted up via the USB thumb drive. On the PC I bought you just hold down the F12 as it boots and it lets you select how you want to boot - USB, CDRom, HD, Lan, etc. I chose the USB Thumbdrive. Up it came to the dos prompt. After that you just execute the Samsung patch and it searches for the Samsung hard drive.

I hope that helps some....
