Hi Binksy and welcome to our forum.

You could try this file, I think you might be able to flash your drive with the P3.3 firmware. (And then use the official firmware update from 3.x to P3.4).

Remember you are (cross)flashing your drive on your own risks.

yup thx nice to get help with the firmware upgrads n many other things :>

Nope no luck with it think i did try that one well it could be the flash memory has corupted heres a screen shot of the errors if anyone can tell what they mean other than it hasent worked :>
