I'd like to know how to figure out how to tell if any of my 4 computers have a VIA or NForce SATAchipset.
But here's the part where I think I'm being idiotic, or maybe just extremely ignorant. I want to put in my new BenQ drive AND flash it with iExtreme 1.4 or 1.5 (Which one should I use? 1.5 is newer, I would assume that). Do I have to replace it first, THEN follow this guide?
Also, by bootable USB Drive, does the guide mean that I have to be able to load up Windows from it or something? Or do I just have to put the program/dos thing (Xbins thing) on there and set it to boot it in BIOS?
I'm sorry if I should know this or have found it. I tried to search for it, but all I could find was how to flash it if it's already installed.
If you help, could you help thoroughly and in depth? I want to be absolutely sure I do everything right.
i dont believe they use a flash drive anymore (thank god) that guide is outdated.
you need ixtreme v1.5 and jungle flasher
i dunno how you tell if it will work on your MB, i think it is hit and miss luck, it is not recommended as you could damage your pc.
if you are just relplacing the lens on the drive you can flash now, if you are replacing the whole drive flash later, but make sure you know how to swap drives, you cant just switch them out!
