Ok this is the situation i have a new computer with 64 bit vista installed. I flashed a benq drive with iprep and booting from flash drive. Now the lite on I am trying to do won't work it also crashes my computer every time I boot from the disk. None of the other programs will work within vista. I also have win xp running in a vmware within vista and I flashed a hitachi 79 with the toolbox within the vmware. The problem is vmware won't recognize the sata controllers from the host as vmware is not DMA. I can't get to the drive within vmware although jungleflasher ck3 tool work in the xp environment. Now, i got another computer that is older and doesn't have flash boot capabilities, although it does have xp sp3. Everytime I load jungle flasher it freezes this other computer though. Does anyone have any input to make this work from any of these 3 sources?

well the 64bit system is out for sure
klutsh was just starting to port iprep to work on 64bit and the lite-on fix came out.
so he took it out.
(as far as i know)
i would use the older xp computer if you need to try booting on a floppy
almost all computers that wont boot on a flash has a floppy
and give iprep a try.

there is bound to be trouble with some of these programs running through vmware.

64bit isnt supported for JungleFlasher, and as i hear Vista for that matter..As for getting the liteon flashed go to your BIOS and make sure legacy mode is enabled. try to use a 32bit OS if possible, and with the options you have its hard to tell what will work and what won't. i'd say scrap the vma and install the OS in a partition, while adding an entry to the bootloader, which you can use EasyBCD. Its freeware. Try it and see if it works.

Talking from experience, get a little spare HDD if you want to install another OS. For some reason, when you try and set up dual boot on the same drive, they (xp and vista) seem to overwrite each other's boot files. When I finally got xp installed, I couldn't access Vista, and vice versa once I sorted Vista. You might be able to get it to work, but I couldn't (still have a non-functioning XP on here now) :p
