Hello, I need some help updating my firmware. I have tried using the Magician software but it will not allow me to update the firmware using this software because my OS is installed on this drive. I've looked around on the website and seen 2 different downloads, one for the firmware and one for an ISO. Would I need to use the ISO download? If so how exactly does that work and what all do I need to get this updated. Thanks!

download the FW ISO from www.samsung.com/samsungssd , burn it as a bootable cd/dvd, boot to that cd/dvd and just follow the FW update instructions.

Hi I just tried this and it did not work. I downloaded the iso from samsung.com/samsungssd, saved the file and burned it to a cd. Restarted my pc and booted from the disc drive and all I get is a screen with like 3 big boxes overlaying each other and it just sits there until I hit the restart button on my pc tower. Not sure why it isn't working, any ideas?

I downloaded ImgBurn. When I go to write image file to disc, the iso file does not show up to select when I browse for files. I have it on my desktop so it should be there. This is way harder than it should be lol what am I doing wrong here.
