hi,
the instructions you gave (or are trying to follow) to do a simple firmware update is NOT necessary, that is the long-winded "better safe than sorry" version of a rather painless procedure to update firmware...
ok, to your current situation...now your system does not "see" your NEC drive, did you physically DISCONNECT anything in your system prior to attempting this firmware update according to those instructions?
make sure your NEC drive is simply connected via an IDE cable to your motherboard and that you have a connector plugged in from your power supply to give it power... i am assuming everything was fine before you tried to follow these instructions? did you change the small jumper on the back of your drive at anytime during this "update" ?
do you know if your drive was set to "master" to begin with or was it on "cable select? (CS setting)" also, i need to know EXACTLY what was altered from the time it WAS WORKING fine to where you stand now with the drive not being recognized...
i can be of more assistance to you once i can "paint a mental picture" of what you are looking at...
