I Was trying to flash a friends benq that I had previously flashed Ix1.61, to LT but during the erase my PC locked up. I had to restart after waiting ten minuets too see if it would finish, but it didn't. The drive now locks up my PC every time I connect it. Have I bricked this drive permanently? Or is there anyway to fix it?

As infam0us said, there is still hope. It's pretty hard to screw up a Benq, they usually bounce back. Try switching SATA ports...if doesn't work, switch back. Not sure why, but this has resolved my issues with Benq drives before, just by switching and switching back.

"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."
