I have been watching videos on how to flash Xbox 83850C drive. Since I am new to the drive mods, its confusing to see who is doing it the correct way. I know there's several ways to skin a cat, but this is crazy. I have a maximus xtractor pro. I see that there are several ways to flash these drives. iPrep 10.7, Xtrator Reader, Xflasher and JungleFlasher 1.66. I also feel that I have compatibility issues as well. Here are my questions.
1. Do I need a PCI SATA Card w/ VIA VT6421A in order to flash the drive? I don't have on yet.
2. Since I am running on Vista 64 do I have to make any other mods for drivers?
3. Which software should I use to flash using xtractor pro?
4. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your help!

Re: flash confusion v83850C
Flashing the 83 drives is mega simple, if you have the right equipment !
I use my onboard VIA sata chipset, not a VIA 6421 pci card.
CK3 connectivity kit - serial NOT USB
Iprpe 10.7, not junglecrasher, i mean jungleflasher !
Boot the pc from usb, with iprep 10.7, and follow the instructions. There is no need for a probe, infact you will damage your drive if you do try to use it.
hope this helps ?
