Ashish,

The card that I need to flash is an Adaptec 29160. The crd is for my
Quantum LTO2 tape backup drive. The card won't recognize the drive.
Adaptec's site shows these instructions.

It is not the HP SCSI card.

I beleive there is no need of boot disk to flash a SCSI controller, go to
HP.com or use firmware maintenance CD :

Procedure 2-21 Updating the Firmware

To update the firmware on the server, controller, or hard drives, use Smart
Components. These components are available on the Firmware Maintenance CD. A
more recent version of a particular server or controller component might be
available on the support page of the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).

Find the most recent version of the component that you require. Components
for controller firmware updates are available in offline and online formats

Follow the instructions for installing the component on the server. These
instructions are given with the CD and are provided on the same Web page as
the component.

Follow the additional instructions that describe how to use the component to
flash the ROM. These instructions are provided with each component.

Hello,

I desperately need to create a bootdisk to flash a SCSI card that I am
having a problem with. I am using KB article 325879, but it wont boot, it
just keeps rebooting. My Windows 2003 server has an HP Proliant 360 has a
smart array card. I am at a loss, please help if you can.
