I have bought a 750GB 2nd Generation Seagate Momentus XT hard drive model ST750LX003 for my MacBook Pro. I have been informed regarding firmware updates that are necessary after the installation. The problem is that I am not good at collecting information from web to get done with this process. I will highly appreciate any serious response.Seagate momentus xt firmware update

Update Firmware with DOS CD

  • For this process you have to start with a boot that will occur by holding the option key (<alt>) during startup.
  • On a grey screen  HDD icon will appear  and CD is named as Windows. Select the CD and boot to DOS.
  • Click <Esc>  to exit Readme.txt
  • Its good to use page up and page down for scrolling through the readme file. If you use arrow keys that might lock DOS. Hit <D> to proceed.
  • Hitting <L> would list compatible drives and FW versions.
  • Hitting <S> would scan the drives
  • In the end hit <D> this will update your Momentus XT to SD24(will take around 15secs to update)
  • Switch off the MAC

That’s all you need to know to get done with the firmware update process. After these steps you can check the new firmware revision in the System profiler.

Thanks for your help. I was able to successfully restore many critical files from a corrupted hard disk. Your product saved me a great deal of time and trouble. Thank Your Very Much!

I wanted to extend my ultimate gratitude and thanks to you and your team. Not only did your company recover the data quickly and at half the price of other companies, everything was recovered and our office is back on track after the NAS failure. I really appreciate a company doing its business so well as Disk Doctors did; and will definitely sing your praises for all to hear. Excellent customer service all around. Thank you again!

Many special thanks for your support in getting my drive issues handled. I am able to access all the files that were recovered. You guys are great!

I thought I was missing a folder until I realized I was searching under the wrong folder name.
I am happy! We are good and all is well!

Thank you.

What do you do when a power surge destroys your hard drive and you loose hundreds of hours of work, irreplaceable images, and your ability to complete jobs for clients with looming deadlines?  My first instinct was to cry, then scream.  My IT manager tried and failed to recover my data and recommended that I try a disaster recovery service. We went on line and called several companies, and when we reached the Disk Doctors, we knew we had found a company that could help us.  I delivered my toasted hard drive to their Vancouver location late in the afternoon and by 6:30 am the following morning a representative had emailed me with a reassuring message and time line for the work.  The following Friday I received one of the happiest calls of my life. My data had been completely recovered.  I cried and screamed again, this time with joy!  Over the last two days I have been thrilled, delighted, relieved, overjoyed and reassured by the fact that ALL MY DATA is once again accessible. Disk Doctors are now on my top-persons list and I am telling all of my colleagues about their services!!!

Thank you!

My hard drive crashed leaving me without my critical financial information and research that is crucial to my business. After checking various vendors on the Internet, I chose Disk Doctor Labs because of their level of service, and they far exceeded my expectations. Aziz Mirza, the manager of Disk Doctor Labs in Norcross, GA, personally took charge of my account, quickly fixed the problems and returned my restored files within a week on a hard drive that I could return for an account credit. Throughout the process, Disk Doctor Labs kept me informed, responded quickly to my calls and delivered my lost files quickly, efficiently and at an extremely fair price. I recommend them unequivocally.

Thank you!
