I plugged my xbox 360 ms25 drive into my Sata card (which shows up in Device Manager as VIA VT6421 RAID Controller)
So i follow the steps, put the 360 in 0800 mode (so i hope i do, depending on wether or not i got the correct 0800.iso from the right place), let it read for 20 sec, eject the dvd, boot up the computer and the Drive isnt showing up in My Computer...can anyone help?
Thanx.

You need to revert to the via drivers 5.2 (on the site of Via)

Turn off the "FW Branding Check" on the options tab unless you need it (A hitachi branded as samsung or opposite). For those using a VIA6421 card, you should try using the version 5.2 of the Via drivers (here)
Try drivers 5.2 and remove fw branding check in options.

I have 5.1.2600 driver or something like that, soooo that may be a problem. I dont have Service Pack 2 installed, could that be a problem??
Not having SP2 installed could definitely be a problem. Update with SP2 and then try again.

Installed it last night, kept trying using all the different methods still nothing. Its really getting frustrating now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I have a huge feeling its related to the sata card. As yesterday, i plugged my sata card into another computer and tried connecting the xbox to that computer and same deal. Windows XP loading screen freezes, then continues a little later.

If you have not done so yet, first try the 5.2 drivers (here).

That is only after you are in XBCreator in the options menu. That would only help you after it is seen in windows.

Ok, well ill try again tonight when i get home from school. But, i changed the driver to 5.1.2600.520 (which i suppose is the 5.2 that you are talking about) and it didnt work again. Still freezes on Windows XP loading screen.
Im all out of ideas, i take it you guys are aswell? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Post by: sosotiit on March 05, 2007, 05:57:00 PM
On the ideas, to be honest yes
, I am about to propose my usual escape. It is a lot of trouble to open the x360 every time you do a backup, not tempted about a shd162c 
. You could also try to go back in firmware prior to firmguard, just to see if you drive is seen that way.
Also I am assuming here that, it is not seen at all, not just the letter not assigned to it. So in admin toot/computer mgmt/disk mgmt of windows it does not show.
is that the setup you used to first flash your drive??

a few people had more chance with single layer DVD+R for the 0800, worth a try.

Haha, well ive already spent over $130 on buying DVD Dual Layer Burner, Sata Card, DVD's etc, so the shd162c might not be an option (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Also, i live in Australia and ive looked around alot of places and cant seem to find them.
Nothing shows up in My Computer, relating too the new xbox dvd drive. It doesnt even show up on preboot.
I didnt flash my drive, i got someone to do it for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Victory_Fan try this load the 0800 dics into the 360 and boot it with disc in.
Let it run until you hear or feel the disc spinning, Now take the 0800 out and reboot the 360 now press the eject botton. You should be able to see the xb0x360 drive under windows, Also when you doing this make sure you have "my computer" open so you can see the drive it just make it easier to see the drive.
If you making a backup once you see the drive load the 0800 count to 20 seconds take it out and make your backup.
Oh yes i also do have a M$25 drive.

It worked Its found the drive, BUT....have a look at this 
Now what lol, the drive is found but not shown in My Computer, because of a driver problem..
I tried searching for a driver, but obviously nothing found

Hmmm i dont remember installing any drivers for the M$25 drive.
So are you able to see it? have you try to load the 0800? maybe with the 0800 disc you'll be able to see it.
Hrmmm, i can only see it in device manager as u can see in the picture i showed.... Ill try a few more different ways when i get home tonight

I see that you had not installed your SP2, is it possible that all the drivers for your systems are not installed. Might be a good idea to go on your MB manufacturer site and update everything (I see a lot of yellow ? on that picture.)
hope it helps, soso
