As title really. Flashed my Hitatchi 47D. All seemed fine. Found it wouldnt play DVD movies (ulp!) so while waiting for my DVR-111d's to come i thought id take a shot at reflashing it with an aim to fixing the DVD-video issue

Only prob is that now i cant pick it up in the bios or get it into mode B with the bootdisk method

Anyone help me please

Right wow solved. Ok bearing in mind that im an IT engineer heres what i did.


Ok so if the drive was hooked up the bios would freeze at "detecting IDE drives" To overcome this i had 4 options.

1) disconnect the sata with 50% chance of boot 0% chance of DVD showing in windows

2)turn off 360. 100% boot but 0% chance of seeing it in windows

3)Press eject on 360 25% chance of boot 0% chance of seeing it in windows

4) wait 1% chance of boot, minimal chance of windows detection


All that is rather bleak however i found a loophole, while the bios is locked looking for IDE drives i hit off and on very quickley on the drive, this flagged it up in the bios. I still could not get it to boot the linux CD to get into modeB however it was already (but wrongly) flashed with V2.0 which INCLUDED the open tray modeB mod so straight after on/off trick i hit eject spitting out the tray whacking it into modeB and presto back to windows.

Now to get the poop outta my pants and locate my balls once again!

(sum total: Reflashed with 2.1 and all fine only prob now is that my burner/media combination is crap and it just about boots the game then dies roll on delivery toz)

Maybe this will help someone i dont know
