The fact you are using a laptop could be the issue, podger said something to me about sata needing to be cardbus not pcmcia for PortIO to work.

0F80
FFA0

You listed these but haven said you've tried them?

Thanks -

I've made some progress - I've run the slax cd and now my drive appears in windows ok.

I've run the unlock cd and now I've hit another snag

When running the 360 firmware toolbox 4.8 and trying the step

direct drive dump gdr only - its giving me an error message

cannot read from drive

[OggyUK]

Not unlocked, what are the full steps you are doing once in windows?

[rozza38]

Hi - once drive shows up as G: in windows :-

insert unlockcd -it autoplays - I then play it once and pause it instantly

eject disc

type in 79unlock g at dos prompt

it returns "done"

then onto the firmware toolbox

[OggyUK]

How are you ejecting before unlock?

Also, you havent said if you are inserting an original disc into the drive and tricking it closed.... This is essential for FWTB to read the firmware.

Thanks again for the help - it's doing my head in!

I am using a game  - I have also tried a DVD -

To close the drive - I'm using the eject button (press twice) on the CK3

Ejecting before unlock?

Podger advised from the start that you use the 360 to eject.

So - to clarify - I have the drive hooked up to my pc and ck3 -  How do I eject?

[OggyUK]

Podger advised you use the 360 to eject.

Apparently it does something different.

Mine didnt work because I was using a sata hdd, strange but true... So there could be any weird reason its not unlocking.

[rozza38]

How does the 360 eject the drive when the data connection is hooked upto the ck3?

If I'm supposed to hook the drive upto the 360 - how can I put it into modeb - as soon as the power is removed from the drive the modeb resets.

Confused.

[OggyUK]

Im just saying thats what podger advised.

I think I used a CK myself when i tested it - not certain though..

It wouldn't work for me on a sata hdd at all, changed to IDE and it worked first time.

[rozza38]

Ii now have no sata hdd connected  - only the 3120

booted up using slax - message reading drive etc

rebooted into windows

drive appeared - inserted unlockcd - ran and then ran and paused

into dos - ran unlock f

error message as below.

N:\360 - Hitachi flash\4---79unlock>79unlock f
DeviceIOControl() failed 121
failed to execute 0x00000000 (sense: 00/00/75FF7A7E)
done!

then drive dissapeared from windows
