Not that this effects a lot of people, but I thought I'd post about this anyway. Crucial has re-released the 0002 firmware for their C300 series SSD drives. I downloaded the ISO file and recently successfully flashed the firmware. I followed their instructions to the last letter.

My config:
ASUS P6T
C300 on Intel SATA port 1
Blu-ray drive on Intel SATA port 3
Unplugged all other HDDs in the system for safety's sake.
Changed BIOS to IDE for Storage Configuration and left it at the default of Enhanced mode after the change.
The whole flash process takes around 4-5min and it will most definitely kill all the data on the drive, so be sure to make an image right before trying anything. I used Acronis 2010 to reimage the drive and have confirmed the data was successfully restored, along with the 100MB system sector, and all partitions are correctly aligned as well.
