I have already read the faqs...

so my question is
Im planning on buying Maximis 360 Xtractor PRO

but to flash i need to connect to SATA...
I dont have that in my PC as it is too old
and only have IDE

now if i get a SATA to USB would i still be able to
flash my drive from the usb?

any help or suggestions are appreciated

also i dont have any empty slots so i cant buy
a pci thing

i seriously doubt a USB to sata adapter would work... having just gone through this process myself i can tell you the flashing software is very picky about the type of SATA it's using...

just remove one of your PCI cards you have in there... really you won't need any of them to do the flashing process... so you should have plenty of slots available for the SATA pci card

well I have a laptop with a esata port would that work?

i think i read that esata is backwards compatible with sata?

EDIT: also i have a wire, on one end is sata and the other is esata
could i plug in the ESATA to the pc and plug in the SATA to the 360 drive?
