i have tried the following: have followed tutorial to the tee. try half way open etc. drive recognized ok, put key in, then had to do the lition serial fixer, as that error came up (end of tutorial). so finally got all that info from drive, and loaded target firmware (1.6) spoofed source to target. keys were same - saved file, all seemed good.
Now here is where it has all gone kapoot.
Click on liteon erase, click yes, yes, then when that image appears with the dots, i pull out power plug from back of drive, put back in. as quick as i can.
comes up with the following error:
Status 0x51
Device intro failed.
I kept trying at least 6 times. Just cant understand why this is.
Am using port 2 on the m/board - sata cable, hard drive is in 1.
comp is only 2 years old, so assume the sata part is ok. using winxp
have i buggered the drive, is it erased, can it be recovered back to 1.5
I have all the files on disk, from prev installer.
Or should i try dos suggestion, prob should of just done that in the first place, just been so long since using dos, thought tutorial and jungle flasher would be the way to try first.
do u know of any good tutorials making a dos usb for this purpose.
Any more help will be really appreciated, the kids will be so happy if i can get this done.
You are doing the Lite-ON erase procedure correct. Maybe just try a different SATA port on your motherboard.
No worries, you drive isn't bricked. It just doesn't have firmware on it. Try a different SATA port, and if that doesn't work, try DosFlash v1.7 (DosFlash32 which is Windows GUI).
