I just got my http://www.diygadget.com/vt6421a-pcmcia-ca...059626365061b4e and I put the card in it automatically installed the drivers. When I go to device manager it says the VIA 6421 RAID and installed the portio32 drivers. I took the SATA cable from the drive to the card. I made the drive stay half way and opened Jungle Flasher. It popped up no comports found. I went to DVDKEY32 and checked VIA Ports only. I checked all of the ports. It popped up the VIA Card but it keeps saying no drives found. I'm trying to flash a LITE-ON 83850c. Please help this is frusterating!

So what do I need. The connectivity kit 3?

It's all dependant on what 8 series Liteon revision you've got. Google "jungleflasher pdf", this has a step by step guide to doing drives. Also check if under your computer properties the via cards drivers are uninstall. The Jungleflasher guide has a step by step guide to this as well.

Its the 83850c. I followed the tutorial and this is the problem I get. Can you help me with remote desktop connection or Log Me In? And when I go to device manager there isnt a comport in there.

You're following the JungleFlasher tutorial right? Are you 100% sure you removed the via drivers? And make sure you don't have V2
And you should be looking out for the correct I/O port not a com port

Yes. When I remove the driver it pops up the exclamation mark and when I open up jungleflasher it pops up no via ports found. I have Port IO installed.

pcmcia requires drivers to work ,if you remove drivers then the card wont work its not the same as pci card.
therefore drivers are needed to be installed ,yet the via drivers will cause problems,so you need a driver that will work with pcmcia ,download the uniata drivers and find the uniata.sys,and rename this as your viamraid.sys or what ever its named in your 32drivers folder, and copy over it thus faking the uniata as a via driver, saying this with via drivers installed the driver I would have expected the system to freeze if the drive was detected,try the other port, on mine one port works the other doesnt.

I already did that. It still wont find the drive!!! Do you have AIM or any way you can help me through remote desktop connection? This is how I have it set up.
The drive connected to the 360 for power. SATA cable from the drive to the card. Card in the computer.
 These are the exact steps I did
1. Insert the VIA Card
2. It automatically installed the drivers (In device Manager it pops up as VIA RAID Controller- 3421)
3. I went to C:\windows\system32\drivers
4. Searched for viamraid.sys
5. Downloaded the Uni ATA drivers
6. Renamed the uni.sys file to viamraid.sys
7. Went back to the drivers folder and replaced the one that was in there with the renamed uni driver
8. Restarted my computer
9. It popped up with a message about locating the Uni driver folder and I ignored it
10. I turned on the 360 and ejected the drive
11. Took out the power cable
12. pushed the drive in half way
13. turned the 360 back on (The drive closes automatically so I have to hold it)This might also be the problem
14. Ran JungleFlasher 0.1.70 as administrator
15. Went to the DVDKey32 tab and it gives me this
Please help me

You don't need to download new drivers for your VIA card. First of all, disable your VIA card, otherwise it might go wrong. Then delete the viamraid.sys. Enable the device again, and restart computer to make sure it's properly deleted. After reboot check if there's still a exclamation mark next to the PCI device. Fire up JungleFlasher, and the card >SHOULD< be detected now by the program. (To check this out, tick the "VIA-ports only" box (or un-tick and re-tick it again), if all went well it should say "Via Card with satus (Code 39), Hitachi Port IO enabled!".

I'll be glad to help you trough TeamViewer, but I think more people will benefit if they also can see the problem and solution.

EDIT: The driver file name on Vista is "vsmraid.sys". Delete it!

EDIT2: Direct snippet from the JungleFlasher tutorial:

QUOTE

VIA 6421 RAID Controller (may report as 3249 if using 550b drivers or above)

Source: JungleFlasher tutorial 0.1.70

And as you can see in the DVDKey32 tab, your device is reported as 3249 which means you're still using the drivers.

EDIT3: You're doing something wrong in steps 10 to 13.

You need to power on the drive with Eject status closed but Tray Half Open – To do this using
an Xbox 360 as Power source, eject the DVD drive, then, press eject to ‘close’ the tray. Now this
is the important part – you MUST remove the DVD power plug (the black cable with white
plug on back of DVD-ROM) from the DVD Drive BEFORE it closes fully.
Wait for a few seconds and replace the power plug into the DVD drive taking extreme caution
to plug the plug the right way around – once done, the drive is now powered, console thinks its
closed but it is in fact half open.
