Looks like it may be AHCI related, after every ghost restore my drive would re-corrupt after first reboot. This time after restore I set the bios to compatibility SATA only mode instead of Enhance IDE, or Enhanced AHCI mode. Now even though I have the end-to-end SMART error I can boot up and the...

My bad upgrade was on a Asus server motherboard, on a Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 system upgraded from Server 2008, so no 100mb partition here. Another odd thing is if I put the drive in IDE mode smart reports a bad drive, but if I put in in AHCI mode SMART reports everything is A-OK, even though...

Here's the old firmware: http://www.kbench.com/software/hit.jsp?no=35840 But it refuses to flash older firmware on a device with newer firmware. Anyone able to do anything with this to force a downgrade?

1 good 160gb G2, 1 bad.

Is it possible to downgrade the firmware anyone have a mirror to the older 080902G98820.iso file?

Seems like a rip to me, cheaper to build your own raid, and with the right controller card get much better performance.

Google came up with nothing? You can get the latest verison of HDDErase here: http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/Hughes/SecureErase.shtml Hardware compatibility for HDDErase is pretty mediocre, and didn't work on the three motherboards I have around me. I instead used hdparm from an Ubuntu 9.04...
