benq iprep flashing help

[smallman90]

im new to this modding xbox 360 thing and encountered a problem. Im flashing my benq drive in iprep and my status toggle starts out at 0x7F. when i hit the power button on my xbox it goes to 0x01. then when i hit the power button again it goes to 0x81 then back to 0x01 really quickly. does anyone know what i can do to fix my toggles.

make sure you are using a via6421a card

I am.

its not seeing the drive if you dont get the "D1" flashing
sata card
sata cable
change pci slots
try a different sataport on the card

[smallman90]

checked sata ports and pci slots. Tried two different sata cables . Nothing. Still getting 0x7f

its not getting the drive in debug mode
try a different flash drive and/or a floppy drive.if you use a floppy ot takes a lot longer for firmtool to start and build your hacked firmware.
jusy wait till you see what the video does then you can power down
when it says reboot the computer dont wait for firmtool to run

when i try my onboard sata, it switches really fast back and forth between 0x01 and 0xd1. when i hit the power button, nothing happens. On my via when i hit the power button it switches. Since it switches, doesnt it see the drive?

have you tried your on board sata
if not try it.
if it said ixtreme pri master then yes it saw the drive but it may not be able to talk with the drive
so to speak.

[smallman90]

my onboard sata says primary controller but it says dosflash compatible only.

then it wont work with iprep
as ;ong as its a via 6421a sata card you may need to try a different computer

[smallman90]

yeh it was the computer. Hooked card up to another computer and presto. Thanks alot. Have another problem now. When i put in my backup copy of Call of Duty 4, it says Mixed Media Disc. I cant open it. Y?

What you ripping with? If it's WXRipper, make sure you inject all stealth files correctly (Ixtreme will not play anything without stealth)...

Otherwise, if the rip is correct it's the age old question of media/burner? Make sure your booktype is set to DVD+ROM for DL, otherwise your wasting time and disks...

Also, I've sometimes had problems with burning when my computer has been really cluttered. Try cleaning C up and then run Defrag, restart and try again.

im burning with this. Didnt change to dvd-rom. how do i do that?

What ripper should i use?

[lilrevuk]

That may be the key.... the disc has to appear to be a DVD-ROM, not a DL

The burner is fine, but if you haven't got the firmware that allows you to change bitsetting/booktype then the 360 won't recognise the disc even the image is good...

DVDInfo Pro will tell if you if you can change booktype (good luck trying to get it to install on Vista). If you can't, do some searching for firmware for your model of burner...

i switched computers and im using xp media center. I burned it with imgburn and well see what happens.
