DESCRIPTION:  Creates a bootable diskette containing an update program 
that detects the type of hard drive in Deskpro 2000, 4000, and 6000 units.
When a Western Digital hard drive with a model number of AC22100-60H 
or AC32500-60H is detected, the program updates the hard drive firmware 
to fix a SMART threshold issue.  

HOW TO USE:

1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette.

4. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2.

5. Insert the newly created diskette in the computer to be tested.
Power on the computer to boot from the diskette.  The program 
searches for a Western Digital drive.  If found it then checks to see if 
the drive needs to be updated.  If it does, the user is prompted to 
proceed to update the hard drive firmware.
