[M35514H]

Hi folks, I'm using an Asus P5GD1-VM motherboard with an Intel ICH6 SATA chipset, which according to the tutorial is compatible.  I'm trying to backup/flash a TS-H943 MS28 drive and have tried a number of different methods all to no avail.  Also, drive is showing up fine in the BIOS.

I've tried booting off a USB/Floppy/CD and every time I boot into dos and type the command line "mtkflash r /m orig.bin" it hangs and gives the following message:

"Port: 1F0, Master/Slave: B0"

It doesn't freeze, I can ctrl+c out of it, but it doesn't work either.  I have tried autoflasher and a number of other utilities, without success.  I perusing the xbox-scene forums pretty heavily and some suggest that I MUST use a Via chipset.

Any direction or suggestion anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.  I've done a few Hitachi-LG FW mods without incident, but can't seem to get this drive workin', PLZ HELP!

Cheers,

M35514H

may i suggest using the iprep and 1.4 ixtreme it has on screen instructions and when you prep it it auto seeks your sata port giving you a useable floppy/usb disc with instructions when to turn on and of drive

you forget one step, and this will not work with ICH6 chipset (so reply above is useless)

With an MS28 you need to bypass firmguard. You can do this in 2 ways:

10s trick (this one requires VIA sata chipset)

VCC trick (you need to solder something off)

search the forums on those 2 and you'll find A LOT of info

the easiest way is to buy a cheap VIA PCI card (about 15 euro) and do the 10s trick
