I flashed my 360 (BenQ) and am able to play backups no problem, but I actually wanted to be able to generate my own...
I didn't feel like keeping my 360 open to be able to take my drive in and out, and it's not really close to my PC, so I bought a replacement drive online so I can keep it permanently connected to my desktop. Got a TS-H943.
Now, this is where I'm starting to rip my hair out...
First, to start, I've followed every dang tutorial out there, and I can never get the drive recognized in windows.
- I have a VIA 3249 card, and am running the PortIO32 drivers for it.
- The drive is recognized when running the flashing tools from dos, and it successfully flashes
- I'm using the xecuter ck3 pro to power, eject and set the mode on it
- I've tried most firmwares out there, including xtrm0800.bin
- When in windows (Vista), nothing except jungleflasher can see it (and jungleflasher)
I'm starting to go a little crazy here. Every tutorial has the section about getting it recognized in windows pretty much as "it just works when you put this firmware in".
You don't need portio.dll drivers.
You don't put a Samsung into ModeB
You flash the xtreme0800.bin fw on it with your key and you just leave it on and boot into windows. Windows then recognizes it and gives it a drive letter.

ditto, ps2 has got it perfect. give it a shot and let us know
- Burn activate.iso from xtreme30 package onto a DVD+R DL using cloneDVD.
- Connected my drive using the CK3 with the light being blue
- Taken xtrm0800.bin, and put in my key
- Flashed it in using dosflash, reported success
- put the burned activate.iso in the drive, and boot into windows
Should I see the drive in windows at this point ?
Things to note. I've read a bunch of threads talking about how they didn't burn the activate.iso properly, or that their burners messed it up. Any way for me to check it's properly burned ? My normal DVD drive won't read it, it just spins loudly. Second, I'm not using the original key from the drive. I have it backed up, but I'm actually using the same key as my 360. Is that a problem ?
Thanks a ton !
Update: Ok, progress !
Removing portio32 and reverting back to viamraid.sys makes a CD Drive show up in windows !
Problem I have now is that when I pop in an original, I BSOD. I'm going to take a look at the dump to see if I can get anything out of it, but anyone run into this ?
