First of all I want to thank anyone and everyone who have contributed to this scene. I'm going to have so much fun once i figure this thing out.

I'm new to all of this, so please take it easy on me. I have download the ISO, burned it, opened my 360, etc. However I have a Hitachi Drive and I noticed the read me file did not mention anything about supporting the Hitachi Drive.

Is this drive supported with this 360 mod disc 1.5 or do I have to use something else? If so, what do I use?

Any help or guidance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi

yeap your right, this disk does not support the hitachi drives, they cannot be flashed in dos,

look here there are tutorials down the right hand side just select which version of the drive you have.

Quick question didn't see it answered.

How do you know which com port the key detector is hooked up to?

I have flashed many many many drives but never a lite on so I bought this:

http://www.diygadget...on/prod_45.html

and now I'm not sure which com port it will be assigned to.

I'm assuming COM 1 but I don't want to break my record of 0 bricked drives

Anyway I looked through the app and it looks very promising a lot better then typing all the manual commands.

I'm also going to try to throw it on a flash drive to see how that works.

Keep up the great work guys!

If you're using your onboard serial port, then check the BIOS. Unless it's been setup in some dodgy fashion it'll be COM1. Don't fret - the program won't go any further if it can't retrieve the key.

Hi,

Many thanx to Frosty for this. This is first time ive tried to flash my 360 and was very easy to do. My 1 backup ive made works perfect, but i do however have a question.

Are the files that are dumped to C erased after a succesful flash? as i cant find them any where on my machine.

Again many thanx,

Rgds Zippy

Wait so what does it exactly take to mod my drive? Can I just simply take it out, have this disc and a VIA and flash it that easy? Or do I have to do something else before? BenQ here.

Hyia Guys,

I must say that this disc is a nifty little tool. Excellent job and thank you for taking your time to create such a tool.

I've read the thread a couple times, but I am a little confused regarding the USB connection on the 360 Connectivity Kit V3 Pro CK3 & Probe. From what I understand.... the USB is not supported by this disc, only Serial connection, correct? I haven't received my Kit and Probe yet so I am not sure what all it has on it... BUT What about newer computers that do NOT have a Serial port on them?

I have access to another computer, but I don't know if it has a serial port either... This computer is in my MAME cabinet out in the garage, so I really don't want to use it unless I absolutely have to.

Yeah you have to use the serial port. You sure you don't have one on your new PC? They're still pretty common. It kind of looks like the VGA port but reversed.

I am pretty sure with the CK3 you'll need a serial cable EXTENSION cord, because the CK3 has a female serial port and the PC always has a male serial port. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

OK Frosty is officially the MAN!
I still use iprep just because it is what I am used to it, but I had a couple extra drives around and thought I would play with this new software.

It would be nice to see some screenshots and/or videos up here though. That usually clears up some questions.

Mabye later this week I will see what I can do.

Serial ports *are* still common, but you won't always find them on the rear header (where the other outputs are). You'll normally find a header somewhere on the board which you'll need to use a serial port extension blanking plate to use it.

You could get away with plugging it directly into the rear of the PC, but you'd need to remove the two threaded sockets each side of the port (either on the CK3 or the serial port) and providing you have enough room to do so. Personally it's not worth risking damage to anything and using a serial extension lead as advised.

But i keep getting "Can't get inquiry data"

Thanks!

To a ground spot, like the metal case of your computer (not your xbox!).

There are plenty of videos on the MS25, though if you are using this disk you should really be able to just follow the text, read it closely and you'll be fine.

I'll play with the disc when I get home on an extra samsung I have to see if there is anything different, but I doubt it.

What type of drive are you flashing? Did the reading of the data go ok? If the data read fine, you should be ok, try booting into windows, and opening the .bin file with xbox toolbox, make sure you have a good DVD key.
