 If you are lucky and have an (external) CD drive you can burn one of the ISO images provided on the [[http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/downloads.html|Samsung SSD]] page. However as I bought the SSD (a 840 non-pro) for my netbook and had already installed the SSD and didn't want to remove it again I didn't have this option.
-As second attempt I tried to create a live USB Stick with UNetbootin and the ISO image from Samsung. The boot process aborted with some error.
 After some trial and error I succeeded by extracting a part of the ISO image and putting it on the FreeDOS stick that I created using [[http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/|UNetbootin]]. Neither using the executable for Windows on FreeDOS nor creating a USB Stick using UNetbootin and the ISO image worked for me.
-For those of you who don't want to repeat the trial and error, here is what worked for me. Updating the firmware is a dangerous procedure, your SSD could be damaged irreparably if the update fails. If you follow these instructions you do that at your own risk, I don't take any warranty that this works for you.

 I have a Samsung 840 (non-pro) SSD but I could imagine that this could work for other Samsung SSDs, too.
