Do everything you would do for a normal flash. Just when you get to the part where you "read" the firmware, skip that and instead go to the "Firmware Tool 32" tab, click "Open Source Firmware", choose your firmware from the original drive (the one you are replacing). Everything else should be the same.

if they are both hitachi simply remove the pcb board (4 ribbons) and put it on the new drive..that way you dont need to flash it or anything special
