Not for me it didn't - it wouldn't detect the drive at all.. I even crossed my fingers and tried hot-plugging it. My last resort was going to be sticking it in a desktop rig and flashing it from there. Fortunately the IDE mode worked fine and that was that.
EDIT: This was in an MSI laptop.
Gary, mine was on 002 and I used AHCI - had to because there is no IDE in my BIOS. Worked flawlessly. I think you are referring to the 'old' instruction going from 002 to 009.
Thanks Wolfgang good to know. I was making a wild guess since prof had to switch to IDE for his laptop.
Got my new Crucial M4 128GB.
Ran the firmware upgrade without any apparent problems.
Being lazy I used the Paragon Migrate OS to SSD ($20) software which did its job nicely and left me with the "old" spinner as BIOS bootable.
Things do go faster.
I finally did the other three drives (my desktop, housemates desktop & laptop). My laptop was the only one which required any finagling to run the update.
Nice to not have any bricks at the end. :)
I say kudos to Crucial and their being on top of an issue like this. Not many companies are so quick and thoughful.:)
Hum glad I caught this thread as I have just got mine and with relief it is marked Rev 0009.Mind you getting time to fit it is another thing!!
