Hello

I'm having no luck trying to upgrade the fireware on my
3ware RAID card. This card needs to be upgraded in DOS.
But after reading posts on this NG - i see that in short
you can't!

So is there a work around?

BTW - i've been in contact with 3ware and they suggest
using a program from the www.bootdisk.com website. But
that is as far as there help goes - pretty poor IMO.
I've tried to use one of the DOS 6.22.exe files from
bootdisk, but they don't install onto a floppy.

My floppy drive, disks and cable are all brand new.
When i try to run the .exe file
(http://files.frashii.com/~bootdisk/622-514.exe) I get I/O
errors on the head and disk!

I don't understand. As i said - all my hardware is new.

Could anyone shed any light on this problem.
