xboxhdm2.2 should work as well. Conceptually the 2 approaches are equivalent. You are just swapping the host OS from Windows to Linux based SLAX for xboxhdm2.2. xboxhdm2.2 should see the USB adapter as a scsi device(sda,sdb etc) which is the desired outcome.

If you read the instructions as well as you read these posts then that's hardly surprising. It's ldotsfan - there are no 'i's anywhere in his name......

@Coolmarquis97:

Read the linked thread again. The keyword you missed is "command prompt".
