[QUOTE="Jack06, post: 1304944, member: 170468"] Hi all, I'm running a 2007, 2.4Ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook pro (the silver one). A while back I upgraded my hard drive to a 'Momentus XT' I saw the performance drop a bit, but thought nothing of it. Eventually it got worse and I started to investigate online and even took it to the Apple store. The general consensus I got was that I would need to upgrade the firmware. Alas, I have a problem, it seems that firmware cannot just be installed, it has to be burnt onto a bootable CD or USB drive, neither which I have (my Superdrive doesn't burn anymore possibly old age?). I do have an external hard drive which I use for time machine backups. Is there any-way I can upgrade my firmware? [/QUOTE]
