Did I brick my Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB?

Post by cdemi »

I have bought the Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB EU External Drive.

and now my drive shows as:

The only way to fix is now is to take the drive apart and use dosflash with a direct sata connection in ide mode

You sure did. What possessed you to choose the ASUS firmware to load on a slim LG drive?
