I guess I'm a sucker for punishment, so I'll go try it out right now...

[Edit]
Flashed and booted up with no problems. (Sure does take longer than older systems, it goes through a lot of steps during the flash process.) I'll post back if I notice anything off.

 

Did you just go straight to the 1.4.0?

 

I also applied the update this morning and so far, everything's working fine. For me, the upgrade was from v1.2.2 strait to v1.4.0.

 

Yes.

 

Thanks again!

 

Ran the test again without disabling any drives and it came up with the same message, but for Drive 3 this time (presume the same drive is always assigned the same no., so drive 3 will be a different drive to drive 2).

Ran it a third time, and no errors at all.

What do you make of that? Just ignore the previous errors? Is the Dell diagnostic check a bit oversensitive?

 

maybe try the bios update and run the test. Could be an issue like the drives disappearing some have and the bios update fixes it (although not listed). Just a thought.

 

Good thinking, thanks

 

I'm not worried about it if you're not having other issues.
