Hi,

It doesn’t boot or doesn’t find the ssd ?

in the second case you try what I’ve written above.

I’m also running Gnu/Linux on an MBR format but I’ve upgraded the firmware while the disk was brand new.

The firmware iso starts to boot up, I briefly see some kind of menu, this disappears and then I see something loading up, but this always fails. So yes, this firmware iso fails to find my ssd - it shows some messages about not being able to find an EFI partition on /dev/sda, which is where the ssd is located.

This is strange as I’m actually using the ssd right now with Linux Mint installed on it - so the installation disk for Linux Mint was able to find the ssd without any problems. I’m just not having any luck with this manual firmware update…

The only thing I can think of doing right now is to download the iso again and burn it onto another disk, just to make sure there wasn’t some kind of corruption with my first attempt… Do you have any other ideas? It’s encouraging to know that you were able to install the firmware upgrade.

Thanks for you help!
