iSSDFUT 2.0.9 Not Working?

[MBali1]

I just installed a 530 SSD in my mid-2009 MBP. It seems to be working fine. I figured I should update the firmware, but I am unable to get the Intel® SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool version 2.0.9 to work. I burned the ISO using both a Mac and a Win7 machine. In both cases it appears to burn correctly, but when I boot from either disc, I get a "no bootable device" message.

After searching the forums a bit, I tried unpacking issdfut_2.0.9.iso to check for iSSDFUT.exe, but it is not present in the ISO. Here's the contents of the ISO. I have downloaded it and unpacked it on two separate Macs and a Win7 PC and I see the same thing. I downloaded the ISO from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18363 Download Center

CONTENTS

initrd

vmlinuz

isolinux (directory)

isolinux\boot.cat

isolinux\isolinux.bin

isolinux\isolinux.cfg

licenses (directory with tons of folders with license files in them)

Is the contents of the ISO correct? Is there something else I am supposed to be doing to update the firmware for my Intel 530 SSD in my mid-2009 MBP? Thanks!

having the same problem. Drive running very slow, and Negotiated speed of only 1.5 GB on mid 2009 Macbook Pro (details below).

just installed brand new 240 GB 530 SSD. Downloaded and burned the ISO image to a DVD. Booted from DVD, and after many errors, software eventually loads. does not recognize my drive, and says FW is up to date. I know this is not correct since I do not have DC32 FW update.

any way to manually download the DC32 FW update, and bypass the broken Intel FW tool??

Hi all,

Thanks for the information provided so far. It does not look like the problem is related to ISN's of the SSD's installed in the systems reporting problems.

We are working to obtain the specific model of MacBook's that are having the problem. I will keep this thread updated.

Hi Ken,

Any update? I tried this with 2.1.0 on my MacBook (A1278, Late 2008) and when booting from the disc the utility says the SSD is 0GB, running firmware DC12, and is up to date.
