I have searched this forum as well as others and I have found some close but not exactly what I'm looking for.
I have a laptop running Vista 64. Obviously, I cannot just buy the sata card mentioned but my computer does have an express card slot. Is there a sata card that I can use to mod my xbox. It has the BenQ drive in it.
Also, I have read in a few places that 64bit causes problems but in others that it does not. Anyone have experience/info on this?
I already have the firmware I need in order to flash my drive and am looking to mod it ASAP. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This http://www.mininova.org/tor/1033837 book mentions a usb-to-sata but I think that only worked for certain xbox drives, you should check it out though.
I didn't use a 64bit OS when doing this but it tend to cause trouble in many other avenues I've tried, I have little to no experience with vista though.

I am pretty sure the sata card that is mentioned will work. You just need to run JF in XP mode.

port io is a 32bit driver and JF is a 32bit program. I tried with 64bit and had to use a 32bit os to get it to work.

jcalton88, which drive do you want to mod? I have a Lite-On, I flashed it myself with JF had a lot of trouble after attempting to erase with JF, but it was easy as pie with IPrep.

I have a BenQ drive that from people that have done mods said is the easiest but looking on forums it seems to be known as a hard one to mod.
Has anyone been able to burn games with 64 bit Vista? I have three computers and only one(a cheap laptop) has 32 bit Vista on it. Both other computers, a desktop and a laptop have 64 bit.
Does anyone else have any info on if an express sata card will work?
I really want to mod mine but I have been laid off for quite a while from work so I can't buy games right now and am stuck playing games I have beat.

I was talking if you had 64 bit. 32 bit OS's shouldn't be an issues.

just get a copy of xp 32bit and create a partition and put it on. Then just use one of your desktops and it should be easy. You may have to get a via card but they are less than $20.
