Hi all, I need help with my Hitachi 59. I cannot get it into Mode B. I am using onboard SATA by the way, here is a link to my mobo: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc...∏_no=1499

Chipset

• NVIDIA® MCP73V Chipset
- Supports Dual View function (D-sub or HDMI + PCIE graphic card, for NVIDIA graphic cards only)
- The additional NVIDIA PCIE graphic card needs no extra drivers installed.

Right, So first I attempted to get the Hitachi into Mode B with Jungle Flasher. That did not work. I used the winapi since port I/O was disabled (blank) method and jungleflasher could not recognize/inquire any Hitachi on the port I/O. I selected all available ports and kept refreshing but still could not get it to inquire.

I tried numerous times with 4 different SATA cables, one was a short 18 inch one and the other was about 32 inches I believe. Anyway, still nothing. So, I then went on to try the slax method. I tried it with slax alpha and slax 2.1. I followed instructions and did everything with precision, still nothing. Slax proceeded then game me an error :

Fatal error occured - LiveData not found. Searching for livecd.sgn file, but file not found.
You are maybe using an unsupported boot device (eg. SCSI or PCMCIA CD-ROM) Try to copy all data from CD/USB to your IDE harddisk, for example
to /mnt/sda1/alldata/ in Linux or C:\alldata\ in Windows. Then boot again.
* Something went wrong and we can't continue. This should never happen.
* Please reboot your computer with Ctrl+Alt+Delete ...

I tried it numerous times with 4 different cables as well and on all 4 of my sata onboard ports. I also made sure to only connect the ports I was using, My scsi DVDROM to boot slax and the 360's Hitachi drive.  

I am honestly baffled at this situation. I am thinking 3 things. My chipset aint supported, I am doing something wrong, or perhaps my scsi DVD-ROM is causing a conflict with slax.

I would really appreciate any help, I'm about to have a nervous breakdown here!  Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/uhh.gif)

anyone? please?

You should do some googling to see if the chipset is supported. Also make sure if you are using WinAPI that you uncheck the VIA ports only under DVDKey tab. If its was checked then it only inquires on VIA ports. It wont be the SATA cable, unplug other ROM drives and perhaps try it using PORTIO drivers

good luck...

first of all ...if its nvidia nforce chipset... you should uninstall the chipset drivers(posible bricking on flash)
second...  do you see the drive in the port list ..on the left side of jungleflasher?... if not either you didn`t install port io..    or you have a bad bios sata setup
mode b is simple....     open tray...    send mode b command ..tray will autoclose.. wait about 10 sec the program and windows will automaticly pick it up..    then hit the eject buton on the xbox twice ..to confirm mode b

Unplug any drive you dont need when you run Slax. I have seen this before. The Nforce chipset should see it fine.

PortIO is for Via chipsets.

I finally got it to work. Apparently, I had a bad bios setup and had never even realized it! I set my bios to IDE (IDE Emulation) and disabled the nvidia controllers. I then proceeded with jungleflasher and all came out well. Check out the log:
