Are you going to do any more drives?
I have one to do tomorrow probably and I'd be interested to hear if you get on better with the earlier version and I will use that too.

I had those same errors with jungleflasher when I ran my VIA card with the drivers enabled. I disabled them and it's worked great ever since for me.

I was going to give that a try also but was thinking it was just for liteons.
I'll try it out tomorrow, see how it goes.

well
you need to remember that the benq and the lite-on
are made by the same people
I dont think you should jungle with any drive with the via drivers running.
im not up on jungle as i just dont use it much.
but
when i do it is on a pc that does not have a via chipset and i have never had any error like that

Ok, so I successfully flashed another Benq,
same procedure as before,
apart from I tried disabling the VIA Drivers and my PC was freezing everytime the xbox drive powered on,
so I re-enabled the drivers got the "write verify failed" error, continued on my merry way, pressed outro/reset, set it all up, inserted backup and it boots fine.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with my setup or a JF bug but either way I just want to confirm both worked even though it gave the verification error.
Seems strange, and I would encourage anyone with the same or similar issue to seek advice on what to do from one of the experienced guys here, rather than just doing as I have done, I may have just got lucky. If iPrep is an option for you then by all means try that if it makes you feel safer.

This info is good for others to reference against if they have the same error.
