What you type appears on the screen only ONCE. Loopback : I did the loop back test on the Nokia CA-45 cable by setting up HT (windows XP home) and connecting the RX / TX cables. I took my chances by not connecting that GND to the HDD / Cable GND. The HDD was powered by an external SATA power adapter. Grounding : I connected the GND of Nokia cable to the GND on the HDD. While not necessary, it helps to upfront identify GND, RX, TX on the cable (varies from cable to cable so no rules here - some investigative work needed) as well as on the drive (please see recent posts by Videoripper and Jaclaz, which are very clear) so that the initial connection itself is correct. I tried 15 odd cables (all CA-42s) before I got the USB powered one. Any cable which is detected when USB plug is inserted (without the phone attached at the other end) is a reasonable bet. If you do not want to hassle yourself by having AA batteries stuck together to power the USB-serial converted, you should go to a phone accessory shop with your laptop.
I want to share some of my learnings below, with a disclaimer that these worked for me - not necessary that the same will work for you. At present I am backing up the data on a USB hard disk. Many thanks to Jaclaz, Videoripper and all others on this forum, whose posts guided me. I report a successful unbricking operation of my Seagate 7200.11 HDD. Use 7-zip to extract the contents and burn the. In case of problems with the self extracting exe: iso there wouldn't be problems with compatibility during the update either. However rest assured, drive firmware is OS agnostic, and since the actual updating is done from a DOS based. Now, having Windows 7 been released on 22nd July 2009, it should mean that the HP guys had not a crystal ball capable of forecasting the furture over a larger than two months span. You will see that the firmware file has a date of: (judging from the way Windows 7 is "pushed", MS would sue HP immediately )
IF it was that this firmware is incompatible with Windows 7, it would mean that you couldn't migrate from any of the previous OS to Windows 7 - a bit hard to believe. that the HP26 is incompatible with Windows 7. HP fails to say explicitly that it is for Windows 7, which is a different thing from what you seem like fearing, i.e. HP says firmware upgrade HP26 is not for Win7!
