Hard drive firmware Update

There is a firmware update for my NAS drives, how easy is it to update?

By the looks of things I'll need to format the drives and update the firmware in Windows..

Re: Hard drive firmware Update

The storage device firmware upgrade does commonly not require re-formatting the on-disk-structure. Granted, some descriptions talk about anti-virus scanning of the disk for whatever reason...

I have managed to update the firmware to EN02 via DOS and things are ok now, thanks

I was assuming you meant the NAS firmware, not the drives (despite your title).  Upgrading the disk firmware on a PC was the easiest approach.
