Ok I read up on the 360 USB but under compatibility it states only with the Hitachi drives... But under the product features it states works with any SATA hd or drive? :S I'm confused on top of that do I need to buy the Xecutor connector kit or does it come with it? I also have a MS28 drive so wouldnt I need the power still coming from the 360 with the video cable plugged in? It said that if I didn't the 360 might shut off in the middle of the flashing process and mess everything up.

Mtkflash cannot flash via a USB or Firewire connection (DOS doesn't have drivers!)

I got that from a tutorial so does that mean that it WON'T flash for the MS28 model drive from the USB connection?

Also what does it mean by:

Quote:
WARNING: If you are going to connect your 360 and PC together in *any* way, then you *must* provide the 360 with a path to true earth ground. This is because the 360 has a floating ground and horrible things happen if all connected systems do not agree on the reference voltage. I used a couple of croc clips from the chassis of the 360 to the chassis of my PC to achieve this.

If anyone could clear this up it be great as its the last few missing steps before I take the leap to flash my console.

P.S. Hmm I got to thinking, maybe all I need it the 360usb. Like I leave my ms28 drive plugged in the 360, and only connect the usb to my pc from the back of my drive? Am I right?
