You can also get raw Seagate firmware images from 
  http://www3.ncr.com/support/nt/devices/disks/seagfw.zip

If you need an image from the list above, but it is not currently on
the DISKFW3 diskette, skip to step 5 below.
Steps to make a DISKFW3-ready image from a raw firmware image:

1) Determine the model number of the disk(s) you are interested in.
   You can see this displayed during boot, or use a tool such as
   DOS DISKFW3 or NT SLIST to display it, if you are not sure.

2) See if the disk is a model that is contained in the 
   dwnldus.hlp file.  Entries have the form:
      <vendor>     e.g. "SEAGATE"
      <product>    e.g. "ST15150W"
      <filename>   e.g. "ST_4BARR.BIN"

3) If your model is in the dwnldus.hlp file, use the filename 
   there as the target image filename.
   Otherwise, use the following filename convention:
     [SCSI Product ID, 8 chars max].IMG   (e.g.: st34573w.img)

4) Run the following command:
   FWHDR <raw image filename> <vendor> <product> <rev>
   The fwhdr program will prepend a header to the image, and name
   the output file after the input filename, with the suffix ".img".  
   Rename the output file to the target image filename determined 
   above in step 3.

5) Now copy the new *.img file to the diskette.
   You may have to delete other firmware images to allow enough space.

Note that to get disk firmware for NCR Symbios RAID devices, you should 
go to ftp://diskt1.sandiegoca.ncr.com/pub/released/drive/.  

--------
To add an entry to the table in dwnldus.hlp, add lines to the table 
in dwnldus.hlp with the following information:
  <vendor>   e.g. "SEAGATE"
  <product>  e.g. "ST39173W"
  <filename> e.g. "ST39173.IMG"
Then "copy /b dl.exe+dwnldus.hlp download.exe" to update the program.
and copy the resulting download.exe and new image to the diskette.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
