OK so I have done 99% of the flashing process

slax
mode b
boot in windows
open and eject 3 times
found the drive letter (J)
played 79unlock cd full
played it then paused quickly after
ejected the 79unlock
ran the command prompt
typed '79unlock J' and got the 'done!'
inserted a legit DVD
toolbox - tools - direct drive dump
saved as original.bin
opened it up
then tools - smart hack patcher
saved as final.bin
opened that one up
then tools - direct drive flash - differential flash (patch)


And then at the final stage I get this message which is strange as it seems to of detected the hitachi drive so far so why stop here.

It says 'make sure the drive is visible on widows first.' And in the background you can see it, the J drive it makes no sense. Does anybody have any ideas?

OK so for anyone who reads this and has the same problem. Here goes after a certain amount of time (maybe 10 minutes+) your computer stops detecting the drive. I tried right clicking the J drive to eject it from the right button menu like I had done 10 minutes earlier but it wouldn't even load the menu just froze. So to get it to work again simply

Power off your computer
unplug the sata from the 360 drive
turn on your computer wait for windows loading screen
once you see it insert sata cable into the back of 360 drive
open and eject 360 drive 3 times
and then depending where you got in the flashing process just continue from there


Worked for me anyway my h79 is fully flashed, although someone will probably come in telling you of a simpler way, took me all of 3 minutes.
