1. | Download the necessary files and extract them somewhere. |
2. | Run EEPROM_Utility_SE.exe |
3. | Ensure that the correct drive is selected. For this to work, the drive must appear as one of the following: ATAPI iHAS224 B ATAPI iHAS424 B ATAPI iHAS624 B |
4. | Click "Backup Eeprom" and save the file somewhere. |
5. | Close the EEPROM Utility. |
6. | Run Flash_Utility.exe |
7. | Ensure the same drive as before is selected. |
8. | Click "Read Flash" and save the file somewhere. |
9. | Click "Write Flash", select "iHAS624 B GL2A.bin", and accept the warnings. Near the end of the process, you may be able to hear the drive reset, and the LED will likely start flashing. |
10. | Once the writing finishes, close the Flash Utility. |
11. | Run EEPROM_Utility_SE.exe again. |
12. | Ensure that the correct drive is still selected. Note that the model string will now be "ATAPI iHAS624 B GL2A 2011/09/19 11:24" |
13. | On the "CrossFlash" tab, click "Convert Drive", then "Yes" |
14. | After the process finishes, shut down (do not reboot) the computer, and then power it back on. The physical power cycle is necessary to reboot the drive. |
15. | Open Device Manager and verify that the drive is now recognized as an "ATAPI iHAS624 B" and that the LED is no longer flashing. |
