Thanks for your answer. Yup. I tried re-updating the firmware from Bootcamp (XP SP3) and the updater crashes right before downloading the firmware. It will recognize there’s a drive connected, same as the updater on 10.6, but it simply crashes. On 10.6 the updater will download the firmware and try to apply it, but it invariably fails at the start of the process.

Try updating using this file:

The My Book Studio is not supported by the universal firmware updater at this time.
