flashing liteon drive question

[peacock]

Hi - ive got ck3 pro plus the probe...im going to start to flash my liteon drive.....im following this guide as posted here in the tutorial section :

viewtopic.php?f=110&t=3201" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

im just a little confused as it says

"2. Some sort of Serial TTL or USB to Serial TTL like a CK3 lite or pro or Maximus's tool will work too. I'll be using a CK3 in this guide."

can i use the usb connection that i have on the ck3 pro connected to a usb port on my pc ?...or does it have to be serial port only?

looking at the setup photo it shows the ck3 pro being used...the usb connection i can see on the side....but does the other end of this usb connection go into a usb port or serial port ?...if latter, i need some kind of special cable..?
cheers

With the CK3 you need the USB cable plugged into the USB port and a sata cable plugged into the sata port on your lite-on. You only need the USB connection for getting the key, identity and inquiry.com files from the drive. You don't need the usb connection for flashing.

so basically usb on ck3 pro ......to.....usb port on pc...? right.....thanks

also...im assuming that once the liteon drive tray is retracted back half way and the light on the probe and on the ck3 is blue...it is in bmode?...sorry to ask this, but it doesnt mention that in the tut.. lol

Red is for Mode-B... only use this with Hitachi's

Blue is for everything else
