360 Modification Disc v1.52 is released!

Check the 'usual places' to download.

Changes in v1.52:

 - Fixed lockup/freezing issues with NTFS drives
 - Improved BenQ/Samsung dumping/flashing stability
 - Replaced MS-DOS with FreeDOS (more stable)

NOTE: The prompt is C: now instead of X: or A: - This is intended, as this version uses a bootable HDD image instead of floppy or CD-ROM.

Enjoy!

I get a "Missing Operating System" Error. The .iso wont boot.

Have you tried it on a different PC?

Have you tried setting 'IDE Compatibility Mode' for your SATA chipset in the BIOS?

Hello i just opened my xbox360 and have the sata chipset and everything, but here is the thing. What are the chances that i won't brick the 360? also do i need the 360 on in order to do this or do i have to get a connnectivy kit, i have BenQ.

you CAN use the xbox to power the drive, but most people recommend using a connectivity kit

okay, it seems I've successfully flashed my sammy from ix1.4 to ix1.51 with this incredible disc, but when I reboot my pc and check my C: drive, there are no files there under SAMFILES.  Am I missing something?  Where did my key go?

It's in the 'usual' places such as xbins

ahh found it!!

thanks..

BTW this has resolved the NTSF drives crashing right and also does it have like a testing mode that tests the flashing process before you flash to see if the drives flash correctly?

What name did you use for your backup directory?

If you type more than 8 characters for the name, it won't save the backup files to your HDD... (due to DOS restrictions) but it will still flash your drive correctly.

Could somebody post the full url for downloading 1.52 from xbins, i have looked but cant find it, found the nfo, but there is no url shown, had same problem with 1.51

Probably just me not knowing how to look for things properly on xbins

Yes, you can. Just run the disc, and turn off your PC before you flash the drive. This will save the ORIG.BIN file to the directory you specified.
