Help! Unable to flash my benq drive anymore
Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 12:15 am
Hi all,
This issue is driving me absolutley crazy, hopefully someone can help with good advice:)
I'be flashed my Benq an friend's Benq drives a few tiems already. The 2 recent times I've done so were using my current system: Windows 7 64.
Last two flashes were: stock --> 1.61 and 1.61 --> LT 1.0
These upgrades were done using my onboard Intel SATA.
Now, here is were trouble begins:
Recently, I attempt to upgrade friend's 1.61 -->Lt 1.0 and have issues with being able to detect/see the drive with DOSFlash and latest JF. When I finally see it via DOSFLash I attempt to flash it and it freezes at Writing Bank 0. (had friend bring back drive via his home setup, using iPrep I believe
I then try to see if I can detect my drive, in order to upgrade to LT 1.1 and can't recognize/see that drive at all. I play it safe, and even order the appropriate VIA chipset sata card only to get the same exact issue.
Any suggestions? Why this issue all of a sudden?
Thanks!
