What we are dealing with - X360 Hitachi 0079FK drive wishing to be flashed.

Drive is plugged into VIA motherboard via a perfectly good SATA cable. I've spent hours and hours stuck at trying to send it into Mode-B.

1) I tried a Slax CD, nothing happens.
2) Jungleflasher, can't detect the drive.

I've been following tutorials and reading forum threads brought up on google so as you can imagine I've tried many a variation on these two - Using Maximus' Reader, disabling RAID etc etc.

Guide me.

You are putting the Slax CD in your PC's CD/DVD drive and booting to it right?

Yes. I also forgot to add that all of this has been tried on two separate computers with no luck on either.

Slax should start up and go through a bunch of stuff and then stop on "Spinning up disk........" and you hit the eject button at that point? You haven't got anything like that?

My Slax basically goes through a ton of stuff and then reaches the login screen. At no point does it show "Spinning up disk...". From what I remember the version I am using is 2.1 from Xbins.

Maybe try the Hitachi on a different SATA port. How are you powering the drive?

I've tried every port. Drive is powered by the 360.

By the way, when the Slax is at the login screen it says it is a Frodo 5 version. Is that normal?

Dont worry about that.

I have found a couple of times withe SLAX that if you open and close your drive at a few random intervals whilst its loading, it sometimes works!

Also, you may not have a compatible motherboard. May be worth you whist getting the VIA 6421A SATA Card!

Also, whats sexy about this?
