Hey guys if you don't have USB boot here goes a meathod that worked for me.

Make a FAT32 partition (I made mine 1gb) on your hard drive

Copy dosflash16 onto your FAT32 partition

Boot up with a windows 98 floppy and make your way into your FAT32 partition (it should be the C: drive if windows is on an NTFS file system)

and read/write/flash as usual.

[paquete]

Finally i did it                          

i used the dosflash32 in windows xp connect the benq using my pci sata 6421 and using the xbox360 as external power.

i just double click the dosflash32 and wait like 45 seconds an it ask me about resending mtk or something i dont remember the exact words the i select yes wait like 3 seconds and turn off the xbox and then turn it on and BAM the dos flash opend and then proceed to extrac my firmware and then i read the firm with toolbox 4.5 to see if read ok and it reads ok the key and model of the dvdrom.


So later tonight im gonna spoof a sammy drive i have here collecting dust to put it in my halo edt x360

and then wait for the benq ixtreme come because i like more the benq drive

Thanks again everyone for the tips.  Worked great using DosFlash.  Could not get it to work using DosFlash32.  It would always lockup the PC until I powered the drive off then windows would start working again.  Anyways, worked first time in dos.  The key read fine in firmware toolbox 4.5

Much appreciated.

Ok got DosFlash32 to work. I had to uninstall my virtual drives and then the program found the drive. Weird but hey it worked....so if anyone else is having this issue try uninstalling your virtual drives.

Worked for me. I was able to use dosflash16 and get my key. Spoofed a hitachi had laying around and now i'm up and running. Thanks for programs guys.

What exactly must do with my intel ich5 sata controller chipser to work the read/write with dosflash32? And i want to do it with dosflash 1.3 32 because i don't know what number i put in the dosflash 1.3 16 for my benq drive i have.
Finally with this sata chipset ich5 it can't work without soldering the benq drives?
If there is a quide with pics to help up for how to read/write(flash) the benq drives please upload it.

A lot of thangs.

You cannot dump without either soldering a switch, or using a VIA card (in dos) with your chipset.

And to the other posters, if you had success please mention what chipset you have, and if you used a VIA card.

Because - those are all of the chipsets supported by the application, for both the VCC and the solderless method.

 

Only the noted nForce and VIA chipsets are currently working with for the non-VCC/soldering method.

Edit:
It would not let me edit.  I used a SY-VIA-150 with the Via 6421 chipset.

Ive got an intel ich7 chipset using a via vt6421a sata card and I cannot get dosflash 1.3beta to work o dump the firmware in windows or in msdos. Any tips its driving me nuts.

I did have to disconnect my other drives to get it working in Dos.  Also make sure the port your using is correct.  If your not sure, run iPrep and look at what port your card is set to.

I also had to add the 0 at the end of the comand or it would tell me the command was incorrect.

Hope this helps you.

I've just used this mobo  http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/mb/content.php?S_ID=148  and dosflash 32 to extract the firmware and toolbox4.5 to read the key.
So this mobo works (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sorry for the english speling

Good idea, could everyone posting here with success and even those who are not successful to read the benQ drives, tell us youre computers chipsets and motherboard brand and if you did it with onboard sata/pci card(via)?? Thx, this could save some time for us who have not tried it yet!?
