Remove 'Micron Firmware Update' from BIOS

Hi, I have a 'Micron Firmware Update' listed in the bios boot options, how can I remove this from the list? I have a Ivy Bridge desktop PC with a 512gb MX100.I have previously updated the MX100 firmware.The 'Micron Firmware Update' remains as an option when all drives are disconnected. Thanks.

Yep, tried lots of stuff. SSD = CT512MX100SSD FW:MU01 on label, updated to MU02.
Motherboard = Gigabyte Sniper M3. The MX100 had caused some BSOD errors.
One that stopped windows from booting and caused a boot loop to 'Micron Firmware Update'. eg.
Boot
Micron Storage Executive.. Loading.. fdisk device has more than 2^32 sectors, cant use all of them.
Invalid firmware directory specified with -i option.
Reboot. Here is a list of what I tried to (A) get windows to boot and (B) remove 'Micron Firmware Update' from the bios.(not necessarily in order). Disconnected all drives from motherboard.
Format c: /FS:fat32 /v:system /q
bootrec /fixboot
bcdboot D:/windows /l en-us /s C: /f ALL
bcdedit /enum firmware
bcdedit /import
EasyBCD to check and read boot config on EFI System partition.
scandisk
SFC /scannow
Realise it would be quicker to reinstall Windows.
Diskpart clean
Reinstalled Windows in MBR mode (not UEFI mode).
Reset motherboard firmware to optimised defaults.
Loaded known good custom motherboard settings from backup.
Cleared CMOS with jumper on motherboard.
Removed motherboard battery overnight.
Flashed motherboard firmware with 'Q-Flash' embedded flash utility. Flash in DOS mode with efiflash.exe bios.bin /c
Its always the last thing you try that fixes the problem.

Can't Read some Discs since SuperDrive Firmware Update

Since upgrading the UJ 835 firmware with the SuperDrive Firmware Update v2.0, I have lost the ability to read many of the DVDs I burned with this drive, that used to read fine with the original firmware. This effects both video and HFS+ discs. The drive tries to read, goes through a cycle perhaps of three attempts and then kicks out the disc.
These are media listed as the "unacceptable" for this finicky drive, but they burned and read fine prior to the update. I am talking about 100s of Memorex, Imation, HP to name a few in particular.
I would prefer access to these discs over burning at higher speeds.
How can I reinstall the original firmware?
Or has anyone found or suggesting a work around for this problem besides an external drive?
Thanx

I had little hope for the downgrade, but thought maybe others have talked about discs not reading after the update that were reading before and could voice in with work around or other feedback.
I am with Apple warranty. Which is of no matter to being able to read none Apple media, I assume they need not warranty that. If I were to get another drive, I'd probably have to get an external to not void my Apple care. Just a shame that the drive used to read media which after updating won't read. Leaves a person out in the cold to loose the ability to read hundreds of discs that the drive used to read. Anyone else reporting this?
As of today the link you offered prices the UJ 845 external at $130. This is a drive by Panasonic. Even at that, LaCie prices less. Any reason to consider the UJ 845 better than the LaCie? Have you experience with the UJ 845 reading 16x Imation or Memorex or HP or other media usually discouraged for apple drives? Apparently LaCie will read these. UJ 845 is not a newer drive.
What would be the best choice currently?

Problems after Superdrive Firmware Update 3.0

Successfully applied the Superdrive Firmware Update 3.0 on my MBP 15" (Unibody late 2008) and, as advertised it no longer make noise on startup and after sleep. All seems ok, but now it refuse to burn CDs and DVDs. Either using Disk Utility or Toast Titanium or iTunes I constantly get media errors and warnings about trying using a different brand of DVDs and CDs.
I always used Verbatim media (16x certified DVD) and never had a single problem until now. After some tries I was able to burn a CD using 4x speed, but this was a lucky one.
Someone experiencing similar problem?
Thanks

Very, very strange , deepnoise,
I've never seen a 'warning" on any Mac OS version suggesting the use of different brands of DVD or CD. To the best of my knowledge , in fact, no such warnings are ever provided by the OS, or by Toast or Popcorn, or other common disc burning software, though sometimes it is certainly worth a try if you have been using cheap media. I very much doubt that such a warning, if it really appeared, was produced by the OS or any regular Mac burning software.
I'm sorry, but most of the posts in this thread sound like an improbable beat up to me.
Cheers

Superdrive Firmware Update 2.1 hosed your DVD-RW? Here's howto restore it.

I have successfully restored the firmware on a UJ-857 that was hosed following the infamous Apple Superdrive Firmware Update 2.1, thanks to the procedure & flashing utility posted by "ben11" on http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=42953&sid=7a19b1238543a5e4a43d12770bbd27c1
Please read the instructions carefully before proceeding.
Hello,
+After some private message exchanges it seems I was able to help some people in this situation (inclduing the original poster). I wrote a simple utility to perform a very basic flash to the drive - doing that may be able to recover the situation, but my flash utility performs almost no checks and is generally much more basic than the framework which, for example, the standard Apple Superdrive updaters have used.+
+So, if your drive is in a similar situation this may be able to help. But only try if you feel you've exhausted every other possibility, such as having the drive replaced. This flash process may not work for you, or in the worst case it could conceivably leave your drive is a worse state than before. It is of coursed not endorsed by anybody, in particular not Apple nor the drive manufacturer (or anybody at rpc1.org either).+
+As I wrote, compared to the standard updaters this utility makes few checks on the drive status - so unless your drive has really lost its standard operating firmware, often because of an interrupted flash, don't use this rather than a more featured updater.+
+Simple flash utility archive:+
+http://rapidshare.com/files/57312123/SimpleFlash.zip.html+
+There is the terminal based utility (and source code) - along with copies of the HAEA, HBEA, KBVB, KCVB (RPC1 patched) firmwares for the UJ-857 and UJ-857D.+
_+Basic Instructions+_
+You need to download the "SimpleFlash.zip" file, unpack it and then run it using the terminal. e.g. assuming you have downloaded the archive file to your desktop you can unpack like this:+
+ben11s-computer:~ ben11$ cd Desktop+
+ben11s-computer:~/Desktop ben11$ unzip SimpleFlash.zip+
+ben11s-computer:~/Desktop ben11$ cd SimpleFlash+
+to use the utility you start it using ONE of the following commands:+
+./simple_flash 0 UJ857-HAEA-MBP-rpc1.dat+
or
+./simple_flash 0 UJ857-HBEA-MB-rpc1.dat+
or
+./simple_flash 0 UJ857D-KBVB-MB-rpc1.dat+
or
+./simple_flash 0 UJ857D-KCVB-MBP-rpc1.dat+
+(choose according to the firmware you need, see below)+
+It will prompt you to answer if you want to continue - to which you can type 'yes' or 'y', if you want to go on. The flash should start and will take about 30 seconds after which the utility should say "Finished". At this point I recommended you restart your Mac. If all has gone well your drive should be responding again.+
_+Choosing the Firmware+_
+The firmware included are the ones that the "Apple Superdrive 2.1" update offered for Matshita drives - except the ones in this archive have RPC1 patches. If you don't want RPC1 you could go back to standard firmware using the updaters posted in other threads on this forum after your drive is responding again.+
+In principal the utility would also flash other matshita UJ-8xx drives, but suitable firmware data files are not included for them.+
+HAEA, HBEA are for UJ-857+
+KBVB, KCVB are for UJ-857D+
+If your drive previously had:+
+HAC1 or HAE4 use HAEA+
+HBE4 use HBEA+
+KBV9 use KBVB+
+KCV9 use KCVB+
+If you don't know the previous firmware revision you had then: As far as I know firmware revisions HAEA & KCVB are used in the Macbook Pro, HBEA & KBVB are used in the Macbook. Choose according to which model of mac and which model of drive you have.+
+The optical drive should not accept a firmware corresponding the wrong drive model, but for a given model the various revisions may have slight differences, perhaps because of different physical constraints on the hardware - so try to pick the appropriate revision.+
+Good luck.+

Hello.
I read a lot of stories on this issue, but no one was exactly like mine. However, since I bumped into your post yesterday I decided to give a try to the "ben11" flash solution.
I'm writing here so others can others can find the info (also I'm writing it here since I have an Apple ID but I'm not interested in subscribing to "The Firmware Page Forum", from "ben11" comes from).
So, here it is.
Of course in the beginning, that is June '07, It was the Firmware Update 2.1.
From there, I was capable to burn CD's at 24x even after the update, but suddenly, the week before the past one or so, I couldn't burn a couple of CD's and a DVD. In that moment I couldn't check the issue in detail. I just thought it could be that my Mac was too busy or something. All I was getting was a completed recording phase and then a failing verifying phase. Sometimes with a 80020063 error code.
The past week I successfully wrote a disc at 8x, but another one, and all the subsequent failed with the same conditions: recording succeeded, verification failed.
Then I read your post. I tried a couple of recordings more for control. I was able to record my iPhoto collection at 1x in a DVD with no problem. Then I tried writing data again in a CD at 24x and it failed, as I was expecting.
I applied the flash utility to the (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857D/KCVB) unit and voila! At 24x my data was recorded and verified successfully!
Thanks a lot and kind regards from Mexico.

Issue with SUPERDRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE 3.0

Hi! I'm having what I feel is a small issue with the SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0 that Apple released on August 31st, 2009. Software Update suggested I apply this update, as my SuperDrive's firmware (HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA11N) was KA15 and needed to be updated to KA16. Apple said on their website that this upgrade would "eliminate the noise made by the optical disk drive during system startup and wake from sleep" (as seen on http://support.apple.com/downloads/SuperDriveFirmware_Update_30). I installed it and restarted my iMac.
However, the SuperDrive's noise was not gone; it's still as loud as it was before. When I turn the iMac on, the things that I hear are, first the fans (or whatever that sound is), then the SuperDrive noise and finally, the iMac's startup sound.
Did I do something wrong? Am I missing something? Is this normal? I followed every instruction the Firmware Update installer gave me, but the noise isn't gone...
I tried to re-install it but then it would tell me that my computer wasn't eligible for the upgrade because the firmware was already up-to-date... Oh, and by the way, the SuperDrive does not make any noise when waking up from sleep mode, so it only has to do with the startup process.
I'd really appreciate some info on this issue...
Thanks!

Hi
you are not alone, same behaviour for me: drive is not making noise when waking from sleep, but does when starting up.
I tried resetting PRAM in case it helps, but no luck.
Not that it annoys me, I can live with this, but the update clearly doesn't do what it says.

How to install Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 in Lion?

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a 27" iMac with a NVidia 7600GT graphics card. Knowledgebase article HT3986 says that Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 must be installed first. I downloaded the firmware update but on running it says the Mac OS X 10.6 is required but I've already upgraded to Lion.
I was able to install Windows 7 but I have to disable the graphics card for it to boot and use it in VGA mode.
How can I install the firmware update?

I used BC 4.0. I don't remember installing the firmware update and thought it likely that I would skip it as I didn't intend to install Windows.
Here's the system profile information:

Chipset Model:          NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
Type:          GPU
Bus:          PCIe
PCIe Lane Width:          x16

I can't find info on what to look for on this iMac to know if it's been updated.

How to reinstall SMC Firmware Update?

Hi,
I've an issue with my fans: after a SMC reset , they're doing fine until I put my MacBook Pro to sleep; then they are stuck at about 2000 rpm, independent of the CPU temperature, so that I've to reset the SMC again to fix it temporarily...
Would like to reapply the SMC Firmware Update to see if this help; does anybody know how to do this, as upon starting the app, it just tells me that I'm already at the right version and there's no Apple Firmware Restoration CD available for the new Macs from late 2008 available (yet).
Any help's highly appreciated!
Thanks and best regards,
Michael

That's quite normal.
haha oh wow... did you guys actually read what OP wrote?
@ OP, read here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1823105&tstart=45
obviously there's nothing you can do up to get your mbp replaced to hopefully get a working one. i don't think apple will EVER fix this problem, cuz it exists since release. just like many other issues apple never fixed...

How to run a firmware update for buffalo tech NAS

I downloaded a firmware updater for a Mac to run the install of a firmware update to a Buffalo Tech NAS LinkStation. Mavericks tells me it can't run this because it is from an unidentifed developer. Nice.. I need a workaround if that is possible.

Does zeroing out another Macs HD through TDM remove a Firmware Update?

Hello,
If I zero out the Physical Volume on an iBook G3 which had a Panther installation, while it's connected to my Intel iMac running 10.4.10 & using Target Disc Mode and Disc Utility, what happens to the Firmware Update 4 .1.7?
I need to know if that Firmware Update needs to be applied again from OS 9.2.2 prior to upgrading to Panther again OR can I just install Panther on the iBook again as I'd already applied the Firmware Update?
Does zeroing destroy the Firmware Update? Can I use Disc Utility on an Intel Mac to zero an iBook G3 or do I need to use a PPC and Target Disc Mode?
I'm thinking of installing Panther again on the iBook using TDM and a PPC iMac but am concerned about whether the Firmware Update will still be intact.
Message was edited by: Spawn_Dl3y

That's the answer I was hoping for as I don't want to re-install Panther on the G3 again and have serious probs with not having the Firmware Update present ....
Can I install OS 9 instead of Panther on the HD without any conflicts ocurring seeing that the Firmware has been updated? Is the Firmware backwards compatible with OS 9?
Thanks for your posts Niel and Johnodd4
