Man i messed up I thought my pc had the port in the back for the rs232 but it doesnt aarrgghh. At the store they had a rs232 cable with a usb on the other side. Will that work ? And if so do I still plug the usb in the back of the pc? Man my bad for all the questions

Yeah you're spot-on, iprep won't work with a usb to r232 adaptor. Have a good read up on jungle as it's quite easy to get the hang of. Make sure the via's are either removed/renamed viewtopic.php?f=63&t=4351" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and instal portio and it should be plain sailing. Any questions just post 'em up.

You can use your onboard sata's if they're compatible but it's just as easy to follow the rename/remove in the above post and yip install portio. It can seem a bit daunting if you're used to iprep but its a good program once you get used to it.

so if i rename/remove do i or can i still connect the drive through sata off of my via card ? Or am i suppose to crack open my pc and connect it through there? Now when using jungle flasher i can use the usb my ck3 came with right? and if thats the case am i also recommended to use the back usb ports?

If you're going to use the via card then yip rename the file and connect the drive to the card, and yes you can use the usb cable with jungleflasher but it'll probably be better to use one of your back usb ports instead of the ones on the front of your tower. Sounds more complicated than it really is.

K so like im setting up my pc while im waiting for my probe anytime now. I have vista amd quad core processor 2.20GHz dont know why but i followed the link to a "T" about disableing the via card and drivers all went well up to the part where i tried to install the portio032. It keeps telling me to install manually. should i go throughreadme txt and do it manually only thing is i have vista

just my luck did some research and come to find out that potio32 is not compatible with my x64pc. I can flash ms28 and benq no problem with iprep. But when it comes to the liteon i have nowhere to plug my rs232 in the back of my pc neither so Im guessing i dont have the right requirements to flash a liteon

There have been people who have reported being able to use a laptop for flashing but i haven't seen it done myself, if you have another hard drive kicking about your best bet would be to instal xp on it and use it primarily for flashing. Doesn't have to be a large capacity drive.
