okay i just flashed my hitachi 78. Um..with following textbooks guide.

I rate it a 3 or maybe 2.5

Also i have one quick question, wouldn't it be better if i kept my faceplate and 360 case off. I mean wouldn't it reduce heat?

o and also i did the Ixetreme with the 5x speed. I figured it was a good call. Was it?

as for leaving the case off, i think your going to get mixed answers on this, bc i think the case was 'designed' to improve airflow, and if you have the case off, it will interrupt this flow. others might disagree and say it will increase airflow. as for the 5x, i would have personally went with at least 8x, but if it plays fine for you, then keep it i guess.

"my dog or cat could piss on it" ha, although very unlikely im not gonna take my chances and please the crowd, ill put it back on.

Also, is the 5 speed really that slow for loading times?

okay when trying to reflash, i cant get into mode b. Im doing the same steps, it just wont work. BTW i have an hitachi 78. So im clueless on how to reflash my drive. if anybody knows a good tutorial on this send one my way. There are like no guides that i have looked through that describe how to do this, and not many posts here on AD about this.

EDIT: ya but sl7 that guide doesn't tell u how to reflash.

ha, no i got a hitachi. I already have slax. REMEMBER i have already flashed my drive, did it last night. But i put the speed at 5. And i want to go up. so i have to restore my originol fw. then create a new hacked fw. Oh, and that link wont work with the 78...so once again, so i assume i put my thing into drive b. And then work from there right? I think i now what im doing.

Its just not going into mode b anymore.

imageburn and clonecd are the best ones, i use image burn as its easier to use, less clicks of the mouse.

penner the link is good. If your stuck in raid, you can restart your computer and you will see a hot key for raid. Just like you have a hot key to get into your bios. The hot key, i think for my computer was like F4, will show up just like it says press a certain key for boot options.
