| Oct 20, 2012 at 19:52 | comment | added | jaume | Just wanted to share this: I inserted the firmware CD my Mac couldn't boot from into my wife's PC (Dell Inspiron / Windows 7) and it booted into the Crucial firmware tool without a hitch. | |

A Firmware update should only be done if it addresses a certain issue and this new Firmware update isn't needed for the Macbook Pro. Our Firmware tool is compatible with a MAC and it sounds like the ISO file hasn't downloaded as it should have. If you want to go ahead with the update then I would recommend trying the download again or connecting the drive to a Windows based system and trying again. If you have any further questions or need further help, just let us know. | |

Press C during start up from a CD/DVD.

I burned a CD not a CD-ROM.
