simple. buy a via  VT6421 on ebay for $9, and use 360 Modification USB Drive v1.6 Revision 3 or 4, and your done. unless you have an old lite-on drive then youll need a ck3 and probe

I have the BenQ drive, but is it because my motherboard's SATA's aren't compatible?

download and try 360 Modification USB Drive v1.6 Revision 3
if it doesnt work then its your sata

[MikeN2]

I used 360 Modification USB Drive v1.6 Revision 4, created a bootable usb drive but my computer didn't read either MS or Free DOS.

[dosu23]

then your doing something wrong, if you can even get into the flashing program in dos, it has nothing to do with your sata

[MikeN2]

If it helps i'm using a 63mb flashcard, with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit.

::Edit:: I got my computer to read the bootable USB but I don't know where to go from there. It just says Emergency Mod in windows millennium. XMS driver is already installed.

The tutorial stops at creating a bootable usb.

after you boot from dos the usb setup will tell you what you need to know, also look at the vt64.. tutorial even if you dont have a via because youll need to know what port your sata is using before you boot the usb from dos

Okay, fixed my previous post by formatting my USB drive again with Free instead of MS. What's the vt64 tutorial?

I booted it and had some questions, first it asked me about the chip card you mentioned before, then it asked me about the Com number. Afterwards it asked me what drive I put benq. Then it asked me where to save the files so I just wrote in desktop. But I abandoned everything because I was scared I was going to brick it.

Is there a way to autodetect which Sata port it's plugged into?

[MikeN2]

I don't think I can flash it. My motherboard doesn't have a VIA chipset. Only has:
North Bridge     Intel X58
South Bridge    Intel ICH10R

Thanks for the help, it stressed me out today.
