lol did you read ANY other the tutorials before posting? for port io, the drive letter will not appear in windows but it should show up on the left side in JF showing the Name, F/W Rev and Reserved info. don't use slax, dont use the mode b button on the connectivity kit. just get it to show up and hit mode b and follow the instructions. ignore win api and the drive letter just hit port io and dump/flash the drive.
First read what i said "the Hitachi shows in the bios and on startup on sata4 but not in JF" Then
Before you decide to reply saying something like that first think that perhaps i did read them in fact i read them all and think maybe i tried everything ppl were saying ppl say alot of different things even in tutorials i hadn't tried slax because ppl have said not to use it, however there is alot of things going wrong and therefore i was down for trying it if it was my last option. Fact is it wasn't detecting it at all.
Regardless of all that thanks for the reply and my problems been solved anyway in fact i posted my resolution in case any1 else has the problems i did.
