[opensuse-factory] Does openSUSE have a general tool to install firmware to a Crucial MX300
Hi all, Since I purchased my first Crucial MX300 525 GB drive, I was forced to reinstall openSUSE three time due to IO read errors. They have provided the first firmware update in the form of an ISO. Apparently it is using Tiny Linux. Can I use VirtualBox or VMware with Windows to install the Windows Storage Executive software firmware utility virtually. I haven't used Windows since 2005. I'm surprised that Crucial couldn't write a bash script to install their firmware on the SSD drive. I have also read that using loopback on Grub2 can install the ISO. -- Cheers!

Why do you want to use windows when they provide a linux install? But more to the point -- why would you not return a drive that's broken upon arrival and buy a SSD that arrives ready to use?
I'm surprised that Crucial couldn't write a bash script to install their firmware on the SSD drive.
--- Since they provide it on Tiny Linux, how do you know it isn't installed via a bash script? But still dead on arrival should be their problem to update, not yours.

Hi all,
Hello.

Indeed.
Can I use VirtualBox or VMware with Windows to install the Windows Storage Executive software firmware utility virtually. I haven't used Windows since 2005.
Stop here, why do you want it?
I'm surprised that Crucial couldn't write a bash script to install their firmware on the SSD drive.
I have also read that using loopback on Grub2 can install the ISO.
Of course. Imho you should update firmware this way. -- Best regards, Dmitriy Perlow -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The ISO name is: mx300_revM0CR040_bootable_media_update.iso Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hello. Since I just failed to do it at my PC I suggest to use USB-flash stick ;) -- Best regards, Dmitriy Perlow -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Update I burned the ISO to a read, write CD. It booted and installed the firmware. Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
