no because in xp you only need 2.0 to run JF
connectivity kit would be better power cycling the drive is faster than power from the box and have you got the box ground to the computer
just checking you said you disabled via card but did you remove file from the system32/driver folder
I did indeed delete the viamraid.sys file, and I ground the box to the pc with a coat hanger, because I felt like being hardcore.

If you got Identify and the key it's really easy to spoof a drive.
First take your friend's drive and extract its key. Save it some where.
Then Spoof the Hitachi drive using JF to a Liteon drive using the key and identify file.
This will bring you Xbox back to life. I did it yesterday because my Liteon drive didn't want to work so I took an older Hitachi 59 and spoofed it to liteon. Works great. Then I sat on the Liteon until I fixed it.
2nd.
When you load Dos. and then you power the drive and use L-O-Erase do you power recycle the drive after you get 72?
If not try it. I had a problem the first time when I didn't do that and it failed on the 1st bank. Didn't try to reboot and try again so I don't know if it would continued and then failed. But after power recycled the drive after getting 72 I power recycled the drive and then I got 4 OK on the same session.
Good luck
I didnt want to spoof his drive, he still needs his xbox. I was just going to use it to get past the dosflash prompt because it wasnt seeing my 6421 card through my liteon.
Also, When I did get the 72 message, yes. I did power cycle the drive. then I stopped getting the message altogether. just nothing but ff80. I must have sat there for about an hour just trying different combinations of cycling and l-o-eras.exe trying to get 72 again, but to no avail.

I had exactly the same thing. Panic set in and all controlled thoughts fled quickly.
To get this drive flashed i went back to jungleflasher and even though the drive wasnt showing or reponding i made sure i was on the correct port and hit the erase button and clicked yes to a few warning prompts.
Result: 1 erased and flashed liteon and a huge sigh of relief
I will try this. Its for sure not recognized.. But i'll try that anyway. What if my computer freezes again though? lol. You think it wouldnt freeze since the drivers are uninstalled?
