Well, the drives are more commonly known as Hitachi's

iPrep does not support hitachi's, but Jungle flasher and firmware tool box will.

Look on the drive identification sticker, and look for FW Version: 00xxdj or something similar should show up. xx will be your version of the drive.

Yours is likely a 46, 47, 59, 78, or 79


If you have never flashed the drive before, your in luck, because it will be easy to flash. Simply select your drive type, send the mode b command, once you are in mode b verify the right drive is still selected, dump the drive, load ixtreme FW as target, click spoof source to target, go back to the flashing tab and flash. (This is a brief guide, once we know what drive type you have we can provide you with a step by step guide, or a video tutorial.)

Use Jungle Flasher's mode B, if that will not work, then use your CK3's mode b button.

Jungle flasher will sometimes mess up if you dont have it send mode b.
