So, just got my new-to-me Corsair x64 SSD in the mail today. Using CrystalDiskInfo, i looked up the current firmware on the drive, v1.0 and through previous research, I have figured out that Corsair has a firmware update to v2.0 that includes TRIM (yay! i know right)...
CrystalDiskInfo also told me that the version of the drive I had spelled Corsair using lowercase letters, so that was the .exe i chose on the forums for the update.
Well, I have made a bootable USB drive to boot FreeDOS, and have copied their firmware update .exe onto the drive. I can run the .exe just fine, but it will not, under ANY circumstances locate the SSD to update the firmware.
I have set the onboard controller to IDE/compatibility mode as suggested by the mods over on Corsairs support forums. I have also tryed "hot-plugging" the SATA cable in while in the Command Prompt stage of things. Also tried every single SATA port on my motherboard with no success. I just cannot get this drive to update... And without another rig up here to try it on, I am very frustrated to say the least...

Maybe there is just something I am missing here. Any help would be much appreciated.
