Error When in DOS

[MrMiscellaneous]

I have seen Cofree's video about how to flash the BenQ dvd drive and i am still having problems. I'm using iPrep v8.8,i have no idea what CK3 is though. When in dos mode i boot to the usb and the program starts up how it's supposed to. Now here is the problem, when i type "dBen (my serial code)" i get the screen saying what to do and it says press any key to continue. When i press a key it says (my 7digit serial code)\(my 5digit serial code)\benofw.bin does not exist ,and then says no ATAPI devices found. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, i'm using the Xbox 360 as power for the drive, with the SATA Cable connected to the computer's SATA ports.

If you want me to take pictures ask me to

no idea what CK3 is though.

you need a via6421 chipset
that should help a lot

[MrMiscellaneous]

k i'll check if and when i can get the CK3
thnx, but what is the difference when running Vista compared to XP when wanting to flash my BenQ?

The ck3 is a connectivity kit is an r232 adaptor which also powers your drive through a molex connector and has the option of turning the drive on and off and putting hitachi's into mode B and ejecting the drive.. The Sata ports on you pc mightn't be compatiable so you may have to invest in a Via card. You could also try it in another one of your sata ports but i'd definitely invest in the card as it can take all the stress out of the flashing process.

Edit: beat me again cofree i really need to learn how to type faster

I would say make sure you are using the primary port on the chipset. It can't hurt to try a dump, but don't ever flash until you know you have a good key...

If you can't get anything at all from motherboard sata then you'll have to go for the card

[MrMiscellaneous]

I'll try to get a picture of my SATA Ports because they are on the motherboard. I wonder why it doesnt recognize the drive when i plug it in. I detached all the other SATA cables then put the drive in SATA 0, booted on usb stil didn't recognize.

Edit:How to i get my key?

[CoFree]

a picture of your sata port wont help
what chipset is in your computer will.

[MrMiscellaneous]

Ok i have a Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller. Is that the right type,or a type i can use?

[CoFree]

well
you can try
it want hurt to try and get a dump with it.
but
in the end you may need to get this card.

Man i am soooo confused right now, i think i'm doing pretty welll and i'm only 13.But i don't know if i can buy the right parts to flash. btw is there any softmods for flashing the drive or is that impossible to accomplish?

[CoFree]

well
if you cant get the pci sata card you need .
then you wont be able to get the sh-d162c dvd drive you need to make your backup games
so
there is not reason to flash your dvd drive.

[MrMiscellaneous]

I'll try my best to get it ordered, btw how long does it take to order the pci for the SATA and the CK3?

[CoFree]

a few days most of the time.
you do understand you can brick your console
if that happened the only thing it would be good for is a dvd player if that.

[MrMiscellaneous]

Yes i understand very much. I mean if i broke it i would save up for another or perhaps stop gaming for a while and try to program C++ again.

[dalecheesy]

As cofree said they normally arrive in a few days but if you figure in the outlay of the card plus a ck3 if needed (not technically necessary but recommended), not taking into account any problems with the flashing procedure, you would probably be better off getting one of the guys off here to flash it for you as they have done loads and are used to dealing with any possible problems which may arise.
