firstly, use iprep 8.8, but iprep isnt set for 64bit i doubt that you will get a read or dump from that drive.

Your onboard would have worked originally because the ms25 doesn't have much of a firmguard. As soon as a 25 is flashed to ixtreme, it reports (and behaves) like an ms28, which had a much improved (stubborn) firmguard, which makes it more difficult to access Vendor Mode.

Glad you got it with the VIA though :P
