Greetings!
I am trying to flash a BenQ drive using Vista 64 and this card: http://tekgems.com/Products/la-pci22-vt6421a.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I got the card installed successfully, used iprep 9 with updated definitions to create my bootable usb, and iprep recognized my sata card.

When I go into DOS and begin to follow cofree's tutorial, it finds my sata card (it's the last option) but states that it cant read the device attached. I try resending the vendor info and it just hangs and won't read my drive. It states "xd80" when the 360 is powered up. I tried power cycling the 360, but to no avail.

Any advice on what I can do to get it to correctly read the vendor info of my drive?

I don't know if it matters or not, but i'm hooking the 360 up to the side sata port on the card. I'm also disconnecting all other sata devices in my machine.

Thanks!

First of all, Hello and welcome to RHPG,


i have never tryed it with vista64bit , from what i beleive its nots supported only the 32bit will work, but then again i could be wrong

Thanks!

From everything I've read, iprep 9 works just fine in Vista 64. But it really shouldn't matter because I'm booting into dos from a usb drive to try and flash the drive.

hook your drive up to your primary port on the card this is normaly the one thats on the smaller side of the card.

Thanks. That may be the problem as in iprep its showing two ports and the bottom one is showing unresponsive. I'll try using the main one.

Michael

iprep only index the main sata port (or 1st one)

So I think I found out what the problem is.
When I look through the hole, I see one white wire, like a BenQ drive, but when it finally came up in iPrep, it is showing Dg 16D25, which I believe is a Liteon. Is this normal? I thought the liteons didn't have the one white wire?

Thanks.

I would say forget about the wire stuff you hear so much about....you have the drive in your hand anyways....read the top of the label...never make a mistake that way.
