Just did the firmware update and it hosed my Windows 7 installation. The updater showed a successful firware update. Initially the computer booted just fine, but once I was within Windows it installed some drivers and asked for a reboot. That's when the trouble started. Now the drive won't boot Windows 7 anymore. I don't know if it's a Dell problem or Intel problem. The Dell BIOS claims a SMART error. I have a Dell XPS 8000.

Just an update for my situation. I got Windows 7 reinstalled (still hangs on boot with a SMART error, but I can bypass it). Downloaded the SSD toolkbox and clicked Check SMART attributes. I got a warning about attribute B8 (End to End Error Detection Count) Raw - 7381, Normalized - 1, Threshold -99. It says Contact your reseller or local Intel representative for assistance. So something definitely corrupted the drive during that initial reboot in Windows.

My 160gb G2 firmware update worked fine. However my roomate's failed as described with failed/corrupt SMART data. Looks like Intel really screwed up somewhere.

That's really bad . It makes my earlier thought of just preparing well with a backup and giving it a go a very bad idea.

Same problem here; ran the new firmware tool on my 80 GB X25-M drive, flash went fine. Booted into Windows 7 x64 no problem, Windows installed some drivers and prompted for a reboot. On reboot, SMART says failure predicted and Windows boots most of the way through and reboots.

How do you know it installed some drivers? Do you find any new drivers in Device Manager?
