if you extracted and erased with JF, why don't you just write the firmware with it?

[tubbs_st]

my liteon drive locked up after the erase in jungle flasher i cant seem to write the firmware to the drive with jf.
thanks for your reply

Ok man what sata card are u using??

Before you go any further try changing the format to Fat in case your system doesnt like fat32 and maybe try a different stick (anything under 2 gig is spot-on)

[tubbs_st]

thanks mate,my stick is 1 gig and looks as though its fat already not fat 32

[dalecheesy]

In that case select fat32 with iprep.my old pc would only accept fat16 but my new 'un only likes fat32.

i had some technical difficulties and was offline for a while, but i still need help with this issue.I've re traced my steps and i still cant get iprep to boot on my system anyone have any ideas

[tubbs_st]

i finally got this sorted i was never able to get iprep to boot on my machine, if this is a problem with my packard bell machine or just with vista in general i was never able ascertain for certain. i resolved this issue on a machine using xp following the iprep tutorial i found on this site. this was a long drawn out process which i wouldn't wish on anybody. if anyone is having similar problems my thoughts are with you, go in peace.
