ABSTRACT:
A method for managing firmware of a removable media device, which includes detecting a key value of the removable media device, checking whether or not the detected key value is stored on a computer that the removable media device is connected to, determining if a version of firmware stored on a server connected to the computer is later than a version of firmware on the removable media device, if the detected key value is stored on the computer, and installing the version of the firmware stored on the server onto the removable media device when the determining step determines the version of the firmware on the server is the later version.
