use full info for using this disc if you encounter any freezing/lockup issues
I checked on this and frosty(the guy who made it) said that some Hard drives cause it to lockup sometimes at the reading stage after all banks are read and it says to reboot. He said you can unplug your Hard drive and it should work perfectly but without a Hard drive attached it will not save the backup files. If you already have a copy of your orig fw from a previous flash this wont matter as you dont need another backup of hacked fw. However if you want a backup copy then you will need to use a different HDD for this than the one currently in use that is causing the lockup. He also noted that IDE drives are better than sata drives. so if you are using a sata hdd now and have an extra IDE drive then go ahead and disconnect the sata and put the IDE on the master location of the IDE cable and the backups will be saved to that HDD.
An alternative to not saving backups and bypassing the HDD to avoid lockups would be to say "NO" to the NTFS4DOS screen as that will keep your hdd from mounting and will be just as if it were not plugged in at all.
