Installation instructions
Notes:
  • This utility is a bootable diskette program, so you need to prepare a floppy disk drive (FDD) for your ThinkPad. Please consult documentation accompanied with your ThinkPad system. If you encounter a problem attaching a FDD to your ThinkPad, please call your local Help Center.
  • The update utility may not find a Multi-Recorder drive in a Docking Station. Remove the drive and install it in a device bay of your ThinkPad and boot this diskette. If you encounter a problem installing the Multi-Recorder drive in the ThinkPad, call your local Support Center.
  • The diskette contains several executable files other than FW.EXE. DO NOT RUN THESE PROGRAMS. Running these programs other than FW.EXE could ruin your Multi-Recorder drive.
  • In Windows XP, after updating the firmware, boot the machine and shut it down again. This is necessary for the registry changes to be recognized.

Attention: Do not power off the ThinkPad during while the firmware is being updated. Doing so could cause the Multi-Recorder drive to fail.

  2. Close all open applications
  3. Click the file link above to download the file from the Web page.
  4. When prompted, select a drive and directory in which to save the downloaded file.

  9. Drives that have been detected will be listed in the upper area of the Main Menu. If a drive that requires an update is detected, it will be shown with a blinking mark on the left. If you find no blinking marks, your Multi-Recorder drive has latest firmware and it is not necessry to update. Remove this diskette and shutdown your ThinkPad.
