i never used the slax a day in my life.....i wait untill windows is booted b4 i power on the drive  once windows starts i turn the hitachi on...it freezes for a breif moment.....Nore like 2 minutes...than recovers....once windows recovers i open jungleflasher select the proper port than click send mode b than insert 79unlock and like magic it plays for a half a second than opens...i remove the trey and go....btw im using the same onbord sata as you



try skipping the slax....and if Jungleflasher doesnt recognize the drive in port I/O or winapi just hit refresh under the drive selection bar on the right

ok ive tried the JF refresh and it jsut freezes nothing happens.... the part i dont understand is it wont read the audio CD.. the audio works fine on other drives, but this one for some dang reason when the audio goes in it will seek out but just eject, no popup or playing is initiated, seeks for like 5-10 secs... then ejects. even if i press play or auto set the drive, it will eject...

if its failing in Jf use firmware toolbox4.8 to read and flash still have to get into mode b with slax2.1 and u still have to use the audio cd to unlock so give this a go to see whether the cd stays in
let us know

Ambush.. i just did an 79FL this week do this..

1. boot slax (mode
2. verify mode b - double tap eject
3. the important step - if you hit eject 3x the cd tray will stay closed and if you are watching the dashboard it will say opening.
4. using jungleflasher verify that it sees Hitachi drive.
5. press 79 unlock
6. that should unlock the drive, i then just did the flash ixtreme and voila it worked.

Big Thank You to Boooger for pointing out that you need to hit the eject button 3 times to get the damn drive to stay closed.  After that, flashing was a breeze with Jungle Flasher 1.62.
Cheers!
