Not familiar with linux but this should answer your question - Guide OCZ-SandForce Linux based firmware update tool
Thank you Shawn
Its actually my second flash now the last being to 1.29 from whatever it was when I bought the drives to enable the garbage collection.
My problem is that like others I only have one windows on my PC and when I want to flash my drives, my answer up til now, has been too remove the drive from my laptop and use that to boot my PC to windows so that I can flash my ssd's.
Not very elegant but it works :) Unlike my idea to try to flash the ssd's singly lol
I just had to follow you with breaking my RAID I just hope these updates are not coming tooooo often lmao
thanks for the advice

I know they said you can't do it, but I am hard headed. I downloaded the standalone version and updated to the 1.32 version from within windows installed on the vertex2. As easy as it could possibly be.
I don't think they say you can't do it within Windows with the standalone, but rather that you shouldn't if possible.
But there's quite a few like you saying doing it with the standalone in Windows worked with no problems with this update version.
I've done it that way in the past with no problem, and then with another update had a freeze with it. Some get BSOD's, others no problem. Hit and miss, but this update's looking good for the most part.
Maybe I got confused. One of the links you posted was the standalone version and it was talking about downloading it from a usb stick. The part that I didn't understand is they said it would work on an X64 version but you couldn't do it from a X64 Install disk, you had to do it from an X86 install disk. I have an X86 install disk, but like I said, I'm hardheaded. And yes, it gets me into trouble quite often.
