Hi, my desktop pc has broken down so, all i have is a laptop hwever,unfortunately my laptop does not have a express slot which is another problem.
here goes.
i need to replace my old 360 drive with either a hitachi78fk or an liteon drive.
after looking around i have seen that the hitach78fk can be flashed using sata to usb adapter is this true? if so what software drivers do i need? also is thier a specific adapter?
however, i have also seen that the liteon can be flashed in Dos, so is it possible to unplug my laptop sata hard drive and use that sata to, flash the liteon drive in Dos?
(i just need to flash the spoofed firmware)?
I would think that you would have better luck swapping the SATA cable than using an adapter. I've yet to see somebody post here saying that they have successfully flashed with a SATA-->USB adapter.
I haven't been reading or posting here forever, so it's possible I guess, but nobody currently posting in the forums has ever had success with the adapter.
I've never tried it, but I have had the same idea to use the SATA port for a laptop hard drive to flash a 360 drive. I've never read of anyone trying it, but if it does work, that would mean that even people who didn't have a PCMCIA port in their laptop could get a mini-PCIe SATA card for their laptop and successfully flash drives that way.
Give it a shot and see what happens. You've got nothing to lose, and I would personally really appreciate hearing your results.
