I bought an xbox 360 core off ebay and I wanted to flash the firmware and I realised that I dont have a Sata controller in my computer, only IDE. I dont want to get a new motherboard and have to change all my disk drives and virtually buy a new computer so I thought maybe I could get a PCI card that has a SATA plug in it and I'll be able to flash my firmware like that, one that I found was This one and I also saw an adapter to plug SATA into an IDE controller. Would these work becuase I know flashing happens in DOS so I dont know if it will see the drive if it was plugged in this way.

Hi mate. not sure if that card will be compatible with flashing the 360's firmware,Just wanted to reccommend the VIA VT6421 Sata card.
If you buy this you will have no problems.I have flashed many drives using this,Hitachi,Samsung,Benq.

I think it cost me £15 last year so not pricey but a great bit of kit.
