I've had a few drives lock up in JF while I was flashing them, and thus far the dosflash fix has been successful, however this time I'm being hit with an error of sorts I haven't seen before. Here's all the information being given to me:

0xEC00 Sata Pri Master Atapi No Identify Possible
Flash Manufacturer ID:0xFF, Device ID:0xFF
Flash Type Unknown
Flash Size: 0 bytes

Then when I go to write the firmware to the drive, I get the message:

Unknown Flash Chip

I can't seem to figure out what I might be doing differently than before. Might anyone know what this message could mean?

It looks like the drive has been erased, then froze after it's been polled...

I can only assume you've got a good dump of the key. If you have try to erase, then flash again. You need to get a status of 72 to get the drive to flash correctly.

If you can't get this from Windows, you'll have to add LOE to the root of an Iprep flash (Lite-On-Erase is available in the 1.5 ixtreme firmware pack) and run that from the prompt. Usage is l-o-e (port number), you may need to try it more than once to get it to report 0x72

Thought I'd update. I'm not sure why it worked, but apparently all I needed to do was wait for the computer to boot into DOS before powering on the drive. I never had to do so before, but will definitely keep this is mind in the future.

Thanks for the help though!
