Thanks guys. Eventually I decided to go with the safer route and flashed the drive by connecting it internally to the mb. BTW, how long did it take you to format it? It's been 4 hours and the formatting is in progress (~85%).

Thanks! Actually what I really wanna know is if I boot the system with freedos, can I flash the samsung drive in an external enclosure?

Hi All, I just got the Samsung 2tB drive, and I'm going to update the firmware as many have suggested. I'm just wondering if I could flash the drive while it's being connected as an external drive through an Antec closure... Any advice is appreciated! p.s.: If I have to hook it up internally...
