I finally got my CA-42 cable, hooked everything up and got the exact same error. PLEASE someone help me im going nuts! *edit* hey WolfDie, I just realized before we enter the "U" command (spin up) we need to reconnect the PCB to the drive. I was able to do everything, going to reboot and see what happens now. I am using the directions as given by Aviko on page 27 (I think it was) *2nd edit* Just rebooted, flashed drive to updated firmware, rebooted, and everything is up and running. THANK YOU EVERYONE who helped make this fix available!!!!!!!!!!!!!
