You need to remove all ide cables from the motherboard and disconnect the power from all ide devices on your pc
connect your 360 sata cable to your motherboard (do not switch 360 on)
Boot your pc and press shift+F10 this should enable you to disable the bootrom.
reboot your pc from the floppy disc you have created with mtkflash on, now type the command: mtkflash r /m orig.bin
switch on the xbox 360, wait 2/3 seconds
and then press enter on the pc keyboard
this should now backup your 360 firmware

Good Luck

i'm haveing a very similar problem, I have same sata chip on the motherboard.

drmmaster does your pc detect the xbox drive? mine says "Drive no detected"

What are the IDE cables i need to unplug?

thanks
