I just got my VT-6421 Sata PCI card because I thought I'd try flashing my drive for a change(instead of getting someone else to). I installed it into my computer and whenever I try booting my PC with the card inside, I get either a black screen with a flashing "_" or it says a few things at the top and gets stuck at "Detecting...". Can anyone help me out? I've tried switching PCI slots and it hasn't helped.

Did you disable your RAID, and remove the VIA drivers?

Raid isn't enabled and I don't even get to install/disable drivers as the computer won't boot at all with the pci card in.

would be nice as to you saying what mobo you have and memory and what windows you have

saying what you said ...shows nothing but your stuck......you also might need a pc bios update...

You're not trying to boot from the card are you? Because the 6421 chipset doesn't support that.

Also when i boot with the 360 disk drive already attached, my computer does this as well. So don't hook it up till after it gets past the cards bootloader.

If you have a pci sound card and video off of pci, it could be a IRQ problem and you may need to disable sound and if possible go to onboard video.

a few thoughts.

ya i only wait till i see the windows loading logo then plug in the power to the 360's drive.....

anyway you can read up on the card faq's as it does have a lot of nice info...
