Flashing a Hitachi V46

[rpatel2]

Hi
I have a hitachi 0046DH

This console is a few years old but has never been flashed before

I have flashed a benq before but have no experience with this particular hitachi

I was reading the tutorial on jungleflasher

However i am confused about removing the via drivers bit. When i used jungleflasher before to flash my benq using a via 6421 card i didn't remove any drivers. So am i suppose to remove the drivers ? And also it mentions "Hitachi Drive inquires on my I/O Port and that PortIO is disabled (using non-VIA chipset)". So am i suppose to use portIO option on jungleflasher ? or should i use winAPI

thanks

also i am going to be flashing this on a new windows vista computer. I have a external PCI card for the via 6421.

But do i need to still use the via 6421 or could i use the sata connection present on the motherboard ?

thanks

if you are going to use jungle
you would be better to uninstall all things via
have a read over this
just taking the card out is not enough

In the video. you use portIO option for dumping/flashing rather than the winapi option. you also mention that you use a non via sata connection.
But i thought that you don't get the portIO option unless you have a via card ?
