Hopefully you can help me - i need to buy a sata card to be able to flash my 360. I dont have a paypal account so cant use ebay .

I spotted this card in maplins

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48641

Do you think this card is able to do the job?

I have also spotted this card on amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/VT6421A-PORT-SAT...37760281&sr=8-1

Would it be a better card.

Help a noob in need - lol

First of all, does your PC have a PCI Express slot or just standart PCI slots?
Second I can't tell if the card would work because the shop doesn't tell us anything about the chip used.
Third, this thing is pretty expensive. This one here should do the job and doesn't even cost half the money the one you found does (it's only standart PCI, check your PC first):

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Seems this way, but I'd rather check by opening the tower (just my 2 cents). Anyway, you need a Sata card with a VIA 6421 chip like that one on amazon.co.uk. They work best.

i will crack the tower open tomorrow its a bit late now.

Many many thanks for all your help - i really appreciate it - that card you recommended is a heck of a lot cheaper than what i would have spent.

You might run into a problem with the 64bit OS.

you were right about the 64 bit os being a problem - couldnt get net 2 onto it.

Thankfully i have my old pc upstairs which is 32 bit xp. So once my sata card arrives i can get cracking. It def has 2 spare pci slots as i changed the graphics card a few months before i changed to the vista pc.

I now have to decide on how to do it - jungle flasher, iprep or dosflash

For a total noob which one would be the easiest?
