HP FW Update for Intel SSD 320 160GB Doesn't Work

[DAbaw]

So I just recovered from my 8mb Reported capacity on an HP (Intel made) SSD 320 160GB

I lost all data, and I had to use Part Magic to secure erase the drive.

To avoid this in the future I tried to update the Firmware. I initially use the HP utility for my Elitebook 8440p. That didn't detect the drive in the bay. I pulled the drive and added it to my Z400 and Z420, and still their utility couldn't detect the drive and asked that I contact http://www.intel.com/go/ssdsupport .. here I am!

I downloaded the firmware update ISO for the drive from Intel, and it's reporting that I have the latest revision. If I had the latest revision, how could I have lost my data and got the 8mb capacity issue?

Somehow I need to either force the intel to update my FW or make the HP utility detect my drive.

My current FW is 4PC1HPG0

Thank you
