I have a Asus A8N Deluxe mobo and I am having trouble connecting the xbox 360 drive to show up in windows, I have tried the Slax Live CD with no avail and I think it might have something to do with my chipset. (NForce4)

This is how I have tried it in my own words.
Download Slax CD, and burn it onto a CDR
Connect a SATA Cable from the Xbox 360 DVD Drive to the board on the PC
Turn on the Xbox 360 and wait for the red lights to stop flashing
Turn on the PC with the Slax CD in the DVD Drive on the PC
Once it gets to the login screen, I reboot the PC (Not turn it off) with the reset button
Eject the Slax CD
Once the loading screen freezes I press the eject button on the Xbox 360 (Tray is now open)
Once the PC is loaded the drive doesn't show up.


What am I doing wrong?

I am thinking of doing the 2 wires trick but where can I get a 1k resistor from?

 First of all, you shouldn't be "waiting for red lights to disappear". Plug a video cable in the back; you've only got 5 minutes for the system to stay on without a video cable (or jumpered to make it think it's got a vid cable).

 The slax CD should work fine. Make sure you're not using an older version or something. It *is* possible that your chipset is not compatible; when you boot your PC, if you see your 360's drive on the device list, then it'll work.

 Now do it like this:

1) Connect 360 DVD drive to your Sata port; leave power connected to xbox360
2) Connect the 360 chasis to your PC chasis (alligator clips work great)
3) Turn on 360
4) Turn on PC with slax disc in your PC's ODD
5) Press eject on the 360 DVD drive when the screen says "spinning up disc"
6) At slax login screen, press your computer's reset button
7) Remove Slax CD and let windows boot


If you're flashing a version that's LESS THAN (not including) 78
Open a command prompt (if using Vista, run the command prompt as administrator) and cd to your fw directory
9) Type "Flashix X Y" where X is the letter of the drive, and Y is any 4-character combo (letters & numbers)

If you're flashing a 78 (this is in better detail in it's included README file)
Open fw toolbox 4.0
9) Insert a game or movie into the drive, and load with the toolbox's menu option
10) RAW dump the f/w
11) Copy the key to the clipboard
12) Open the ixtreme fw and paste your key in
13) Flash with differential patch

If you're flashing a 79 (FK or FL)
You need a 79passkey or similar device. Once soldered properly to the drive, the drive will automatically boot in modeb, allowing you to simply boot and proceed to flashing, supposedly like any other drive less than 78, however I believe you still use fw toolbox, rather than using the batch files for your "common hitachi" set. If I'm wrong (or right), someone let me know.
