***oh***

lol, well that solves that.....

i was told that if i could get the drive to detect in windows i could use it to rip games to the HDD thus saving me the money to buy a pc dvd drive that reads them

You don't actually need the serial number, you can enter any number and it will work.

I think you still need to have a VIA or nForce chipset for a Samsung..also needs to be IDE mode

just switched to IDE mode and still no luck, ordering a VIA sata card now. may as well order a DVD drive for PC to rip games as well. What brand is the safest to get (e.g. are ALL sony's flashable?)

I would try dosflash 1.6 also, just put the exe on the root of your boot device. When Iprep comes up just say no. And you'll be at a command prompt to execute. It's pretty self explanatory to use.
