Hello,
I have a macbook pro mid 2012 (i7,13') with a 128 m4 crucial ssd as the main drive and the original 750hdd as a second internal hard drive replacing the optical drive. I wanted to update the ssd's firmware and since I don't have a cd drive, the only possible way in this setup was through a usb stick.
So, I've literally spent two days reading and trying to configure the usb and settings to allow booting from the usb and running Crucial's update. I managed to boot from the usb BUT exactly after the crucial logo, when entering bios, I get stuck with an error stating
"InitDisk Warning: using suspect partition Pri: 1 FS 0C with calculated values 1-0-1 instead of 1023-254-63
C:HD1, Pri [1], CHS= 0-0-2, Start= 0, size= 7mb".
I'd like to know if somebody else had this kind of problem on the same macbook model and your suggestions, at this point I'm rather unsure if trying installation by cd, which is supposed to be the "easy" way is gonna work (apart from the hussle of taking out the hdd caddy to replace the optical drive in its position). Moreover, although I have access to a windows pc, I'm not sure if plugging the ssd externally in a usb port will work for the update.
Please, your advice! Thank you in advance.
