Cant boot with iprep

[Username]

i have i benq drive that i want to flash but im stuck at early stages,

i made my usb stick a bootable drive with the latest iprep101 with the benq FW.

i tried to boot my pc with it just to see if it works and i got this message

'starting windows 98
there is not enough memory for windows. remove some drivers from your CONFIG.SYS file and then try again'

this manual shows me wat files i should have in the usb

i have some different. i thought it might be because i was using the latest version of iprep?

can anyone help?

thanks

it donr look like you have the boot drive set up right.
look over this.

and there is a video guide
http://www.robinhoodsplayground.com/for ... =110&t=277

try a different flash or a floppy disc.

Ive checked both those links. im going to try anther USB stick.
one other thing, if i wanted to use the non stealth FW would it work?

[CoFree]

it will,but its not safe for live

i prepared a floppy disk with iprep and it booted fine.
i just want to know how safe it is to use a floppy coz i dont want to lose my orig.bin

any ideas why a usb stick wont work?

thanks

*is there anything on this site that explains what to do with FWtoolbox?

after you do the dump/read reboot to windows and make a copy of the backup folder

you click the small box to the right and then pick your orig firmware and it will load
ill try to get a guide for that up tomorrow

i understand now.
i dont need to check the hacked.bin do i?

if my orig.bin key is ok i reboot with iprep and continue to flash (fben)

ok one more noob question. do i use my serial or 1234567 12345? coz on all the video tutorials thats whats used and it works?

thanks

* after the drive keys are copied and it tells me that its ready to flash, is it safe to turn of the 360? so i can boot to windows and check the key.

you only need to check the orig bin not the hacked bin
you want to use your ser number not the 1234567 12345.i did that not to put my ser # out there for all to see.alot of good that did when my key is there (i know)
after the hacked bin is builted then yes power everything dowm restart the computer and check your orig bin for a good key
then start over but this time do the flash

your close

let us know how it goes.

-via serial ata controller-3149 (mtkflash and dosflash compatible)
-via bus master ide controller-0571 (dosflash compatible only)
-ata channel 0 (dosflash compatible only)
-ata channel 1 same

so i choose the first one:-via serial ata controller-3149 (mtkflash and dosflash compatible) and i checked the box at sata info (patch mtkflash,,then choose my drive target (for me is "L" ) THEN check the box (format/make device bootable,,
and no errors ,,everyng went okay,,, so i checked to see whats on my drive i have 5 files:

You should have started your own tread.
first im not sure about that card.this one works for sure.

i think something in your bios is not right.
Try building iprep on a floppy and boot on that floppy just for kicks.
At least you will know iprep is working right.

thanks for replying,,
if you want you can move the tread ,,next time all do it right!

those pictures are what i have on my motherboard! i have a "" pcchips p23g v3.0 (motherboard)
so i checked all in bios the usb all are enable,, but i will try to put on a floppy ,,need to go buy some,,

can you look at my board info http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... M-P23G-351

thanks ,,

Usually the mother board is not the problem. Unless you are using an on board sata. If you are, Don't. You will waste a lot of time and then realize you need to buy one of the recommended sata cards (you can get one for like $12.00 usd. Definately try the floppy. If it works then just flash it that way. It doesn't have to be with a usb stick.

Oh, and make sure you have updated the "def" file.

Im using windowsXP. when i used my 4GB flash mem the computer didnt boot of it, it booted straight to windows.
when i used the 128mb stick it gave me the config.sys error. maybe its our usb sticks?

[CoFree]

no all usb flash drives will work but most will.
i still think something is not right in the bios.The computer may not boot from the usb
i had a computer that would not.That is when i used the floppy for all my flashing.
post how its going
