Im trying to flash a hitachi v78. drive is recognized in windows, plays movies.
But when i try to do a raw dump in 360 firmware toolbox it says: "cannot read from drive".
I've tryed on 5 different systems (none with a via chipset).
The systems had prommise, sis and nvidia sata chipsets.
Is it possible that flashing the 78 drive only works with a via chipset?
Thanks in advance for your reactions!

You need to set it in ModeB with Slax en then it will be possible to flash it with almost all sata chipsets!
I usually flash them with VIA, but i've had successfull flashes on INTEL and NFORCE chipsets too

I keep getting the cannot read error. is there somthing i've forgotten?
the drive is in b mode im sure of that, windows recognizes the drive and i have got to push th eject button 2 times. i even played a movie with it. anything else i can check?

Try ejectin the drive with toolbox, insert an original game of movie, insert the tray, wait till the drive starts spinning and then press the raw dump buttnon
That always works for me!

in the toolbox it says 0078 and on the drive sticker it says rom version 0047JD.

Try C4eva's pack to see if it flashes with that
Toolbox should be able to flash both though!
BTW, if you arent able to dump the firmware, how can you tell if it's a 78. For as far as I know Windows only recognises a HT-SL something and that is shown in toolbox too!
I think you might be doing something wrong

in toolbox i get the: F:[DVD-ROM GRD 2130L ROM0047]
sow its a firmware 47, sorry for that stupid mistake...
where can i get C4eva's pack?

You'd better use C4Eva ixtreme 1.4 pack on this one since a 47 can be buggy with Toolbox!!
Where you can get it? Well, I can't say that here, but it is at the "known places (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)"

( i tried a nvidia chipset board also with the same error but have tried on 2 diff intel boards with success )
if you dont know what chipset you have download "cpuZ" and click on the motherboard tab.
this is from my experience only i'm not suggesting buying any new motherboards or anything i use old 478 and 462 and 775 stuff to flash which you can probably pick up an old 478 2ghz board and chip for 10$-20$ if you find it works on intel chipsets for you too and if you flash alot of 0078 it might be worth it.

i have had the same problem always with 0078s i just put the via card into a computer with a different chipset and then it works fine ( chipsets are like nvidia, via, intel, ati ) my normal computer uses via and the one i use for 0078 drives only uses intel chipset . ( chipset is the onboard controller chip not the "SATA" chipset i use my via card for the sata interface in both computers just differant motherboard have different chipsets which ive found 0078 seems to not have the "cannot read from drive" error when i use it with intel chipsets.

I have a A7N8X Deluxe motherboards (nvidia nforce2) and I get this error. Any idea?
