Do not update the firmware without backup the data. It will nuke all your data. The boot disk should work if you go into the BIOS and set it to boot from CDRome first. If not, try using Ultimate Boot Disk which include Seagate's scanning tool.

Most likely it just ruined your drive. You should get an RMA and send it back to Seagate if you can. Just tell them your house suffer a power loss during the update.

Does my drive need a firmware update?

Did the PC shutdown or just enter a low power state?

Sorry. I should of clearly say use Seatools for DOS. It's just an disk image file you burn to a disk which you boot from. If you can get the data off the drive, do that first because long test may mess up the data. Not that it ever happened to me but I still backup the drives first before running long test.
