Can someone PLZ, give me ONE name of a PCI-sata controller THAT WORKS?? That`s something 75% of you needs!

I have looked everywhere for a pci sata controller, i have bought and returned three now. There are some that are supposed to work, but most of them cost over $500. Your best bet is to find a friend with a sata on the mobo, thats what i had to do. Your other option is building a computer, it would actually be cheaper than buying the sata pci cards that would work. I hope this helps, if you do find a cheap one let me know, i would love to not have to use my buddies computer.

no you cannot make a boot cd, you NEED a floppy no other way

If you have a FAT32 drive/partition then you can obviously copy the needed files there, boot from your CD (with hdd connected) go to that drive (will be C: if other drives are NTFS and not detected) and dump your firmware there.

You obviously CANNOT dump your backup firmware onto the write protected CD.

I used the floppy to boot then navigated to the hdd partition and did it from there. It's even recommended because your floppy may crap out during your flashing and then your drive is screwed. Plus the hdd reads and writes alot faster.

So, I'm a little confused, maybe there is a setting I overlooked, but anyone else get this error, and if so, what option did you choose?

Okay, I tried the over-burn option and got a coaster, so I'm thinking the CloneCD I am using cannot burn dual layer images, or maybe I just haven't figured out how to get it to. I am using CloneCD v5.2.8.1 so I thought it would work, but it clearly did not. My burner is dual layer, so that should work, it just doesnt. I'm gonna play around with it some more, but if others wanna provide insight, feel free

I got the VIA VT6421 ( http://www.newegg.co...N82E16839125503 ) card and everytime I try to boot with the DVD connected to the PCI card it always just says

"Hardware initiate failed, Please Check Device!!!
The Bios does not be installed. Press <g> to continue!."

If I turn on the XBOX while the drive is connected to the PCI card it just freezes on me. Anyone got any tips. Thx.

I haven't seen a PCI card work yet with this MOD

When burning the .dvd+001 file, in clonecd, right after you select the file, youhit next, then it shows your CD Writer and Write Speed and then it shows like a white box, in that box i have a DVD with a few binary numbers on it. I'm not sure if this is the correct media image I should see there? Or should CloneCD display something with like a DVD9 or something? Somebody who has burnt successfully respond

I backed up DOA 4 (NTSC), via the instructions (although I never got the error where I was supposed to select insert dummy sectors, not sure if that's a big deal or not). After I had the backup completed I have these files:

blank360.iso [259,646 KB] + game.iso [7,135,744 KB] + ss.bin [2 KB] + Image.dvd [1 KB]

I ran build360.bat and got a Image.000 [7,395,392 KB]

I then go to CloneCD, I click Write Image and I select the Image.dvd file. And from there I proceed step by step to through the following screens:

CloneCD - Select File
IPB Image

CloneCD - Select Write Speed
IPB Image

CloneCD - Error Before Burning
IPB Image

Also, when I select the second option after it gives me that error, the burn goes to 100% at like 24 minutes and then remains that at status "Writing Lead Out". This again doesn't work, and has resulted in my second coaster [so I have tried both of the options at the Error Before Burning screen and have gotten two coasters]. Anyone else getting this error? I have a BENQ DVD+R DL compatible burner. Here are my theories for why it doesn't work:

I made an error when creating the backup
My burner can't burn DL correctly (even though DVDInfoPro and everything else says it supports DL)
CloneCD hates me

Somebody has to be able to solve this, I've tried alot of things already.

Darkness_au · « **Reply #449 on:** May 18, 2006, 08:17:00 PM »

Come someone please tell me where the option is to do this in DVDInfo ??

Ensure DVD drive has been flashed with Xtrm0800.bin firmware. Drive can now work under Windows.
Insert original game disk into drive and wait for windows to detect disk change
Run DVDinfoPro
Enter the following four custom cdb commands:

AD 00 FF 02 FD FF FE 00 08 00 01 C0
AD 00 FF 02 FD FF FE 00 08 00 03 C0
AD 00 FF 02 FD FF FE 00 08 00 05 C0
AD 00 FF 02 FD FF FE 00 08 00 07 C0

This isnt explained very well for someone that has never used DVDInfo.

Thanks for any help.. Ive got the rest going fine, just need this explained to me, I cant find where to put in those commands ?
