BEWARE of new Samsung 850 PRO Firmware!
I just upgraded the firmware today(just released) on my Samsung 850 Pro SSD using samsung's Magician Software and everything went fine and the PC automatically shutdown. I waited a few seconds after the PC shut down and now I only get a black screen with a movable cursor. I'm currently using parted magic 2013 build to research how to fix this and I don't have another PC at the moment.
Things I've tried.
1. safe mode doesn't work
2. startup repair didn't fix anything.
3. Low res start up didn't fix the problem.
4. in parted magic it looks like all my files are still there.
I need this fixed fast as I don't have another PC and I would have to transfer my files to another drive and do a clean install on my samsung SSD.
EDIT
Do Not update any Samsung 850 Pro SSD's to the following firmware:
850 PRO EXM02B6Q
- Improved compatibility for SATA 3Gb/s based systems
- Enhanced user-performance for workstations
