I believe that's the drive in this Xbox. Do I need that VIA SATA card? (Or will my Intel SATA controller work? The northbridge is Intel 925, not sure what the RAID controller is.) I hear that the 2-wire trick is the best way to get the drive into mode b. Is that right or is there an easier method?

This is the tut I used.

1. Download SLAX 2.0 (ISO) and burn .iso to a disk. Imgburn is easy as you only have to right click on it and select ?Burn with Imgburn?
2. Download iXtreme1.4_Hitachi_C4EVA_rev1
3. Insert SLAX2.0 cd and change BIOS to boot from CD drive first.
4. Reboot PC and power on the 360.
5. Once SLAX2.0 starts to load connect the SATA to the 360 the bootup in slax might take a few minutes.
6. At some point during the bootup process ?spinning up disk? should be displayed.
7. Press eject on the 360 drive and it will continue to bootup in SLAX. SLAX never finished booting up for me and gave me some sort of error but don?t remember what, sorry.
8. Whether it boots up or not disconnect the SATA cable but DO NOT TURN OFF the 360. If the 360 is turned off the 360 drive will exit modeB.
9. Restart PC and as soon as possible press the eject button on the PC Drive to eject SLAX2.0. This will allow the PC to boot up in windows and not in SLAX2.0
10. Once booted into windows reconnect the SATA cable to the 360 drive.
11. Go to My Computer and see if the drive is listed. Right click on it and select eject to make sure it is the correct drive. Your 360 drive should eject.
12. Press the eject button on the 360 drive twice to make it retract the tray. As it is retracting press the eject button a third time and the tray will stay in.
13. Open iXtreme1.4_Hitachi_C4EVA_rev1 folder and select the FLASHIX.BAT file.
14. Follow the directions onscreen. At one point it will ask you to enter a name for the backup firmware. I saved it as the owner of the XBOX ?Sean?
15. After you complete the onscreen instructions the XBOX is flashed and the original firmware is in the iXtreme1.4_Hitachi_C4EVA_rev1 folder saved as the name given in the Dos menu.
16. The 360 drive is still in modeB (takes to presses of the eject button to eject or retract the tray). Power off the XBOX and disconnect the 360 drive completely for about 3 ? 5 minute (I?m not sure if disconnecting the drive is required but I did it to sure it would reset). This step will reset the drive and exit modeB.
17. Reconnect the 360 Drive and press the eject button (should on take one press of the eject button to open the drive). Note: The 360 will still play backups in modeB it?s just annoying to press the eject button twice every time.
18. Now it is time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Insert a backup of a game you own and play until your fingers bleed.

I have a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 and the onboard SATA and it would not work. A friend hooked me up with a Rosewell SATA1.5G/ATA133 RAID Controller Card ($12.99 I think) that has worked on both Hitachi 59DJ and Samsung MS28. So if the tut still don't work there is a chance that your onboard SATA that is not compatible.
