well one of them is that firmtool is not starting for some reason.
most of the time that is because a sata cd or hard drive is plugged up at the same time as the dump

We've seen lots of people try and fail with nForce mobo's, I think all the guys here would recommend the VIA card (see my sig) to give you a better chance of getting a good dump/flash.
Don't get me wrong, some people have had success with nForce boards, but most of the time, they won't connect to the drive.

I think livrevuk is correct. The varied nature of your errors are most likely compatibility issues with your onboard SATA. I had a friend try to flash a BenQ and FK78 with his onboard SATA and kept getting errors. Once he bought the card CoFree recommends, he had no problems getting the Hitachi into mode B with Slax or flashing the BenQ.
