Either that is not the correct firmware for your drive or the one yuo downloaded is corrupt. your could try downloading it again.

but it on the live update tool i got of the website stamped on the front of the drive it automatically serches for a useable update , downloads it , n then fails withe the same error ,

cud the drive be locked so it can't be flash upgraded with out me jumping a terminal or something ? or shud i just go get a new 1 , as they're cheep as chips

thanks phil

try going to the site and downloading the correct firmware yourself. I dont think the live update is working properly. you could get another one but if you do I would suggest going with a better drive. BTC is not a quality drive. go with BenQ, pioneer, sony, or plextor.
