HITACHI NON-79 47 Hitachi Windows 7

[Nowitzki2004]

Its a 64 bit computer. I found the drive in JungleFlasher but cant get it into Port Properties.
When I start jungle flasher I get the following error.

PortIO Error
Cant Install portio64.sys driver!
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement
OR test and sign the driver an run in 'Test Mode'

Boot up the computer, hit F8 after the POST screen and you should see the option to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.

 

[Nowitzki2004]

what is the post screen?

 

[BL4K3Y]

As soon as you boot the computer up, keep tapping F8 until you see a menu with a list of options.... think of it as if you were trying to get into Safe Mode.

 

[Nowitzki2004]

I have read that somewhere but it doesnt work for some reason

once i hit f8 it just stops at the emachines logo for a few seconds then starts loading windows

 

[BL4K3Y]

It will work if you are on a 64-bit OS, try tapping F6 instead.

 

[Nowitzki2004]

f6 gives me safe mode options

 

[BL4K3Y]

Is the option mentioned in your original post listed there?

 

[Nowitzki2004]

I have downloaded Portio64.sys and put it in the folder with jungleflasher and am not getting the error. the only problem now is that my drive isnt coming up in port properties

I am using an onboard pci slot. I do have a VIA sata chipset that is uninstalled should I install it and try it with that?

Did you disable the device and remove vsmraid.sys (I think that's the name for 64-bit) from C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers, reboot and then re-enable the device?

 

[Nowitzki2004]

I renamed the device to vsmraid.sys_ but i didnt re-enable it.

 

[BL4K3Y]

You need to re-enable the device in Device Manager, JungleFlasher should see that it has drivers removed and give you a pop-up.

It should then tick the "VIA Ports Only" box but if it doesn't, tick it yourself and JungleFlasher should detect your drive.

 

[Nowitzki2004]

Are you talking about the RAID Controller in device manager? when I right click on it there is no enable option there is disable though

 

[BL4K3Y]

That would signify that it is already enabled, it should have a yellow exclamation mark next to it with an error Code of 10 or 13 displayed in properties but I can't quite remember which because it is a long time since I used one lol.

 

[Nowitzki2004]

It does have the exclamation next to it but it says code 39

 

[BL4K3Y]

That sounds about right, load up JungleFlasher and tick "VIA Ports Only" and be sure to use the internal-most port on the card.

 

[Nowitzki2004]

ok should i plug it into the VIA? I used to do it on another computer with no problems but that computer got fried, now im on my sisters computer and its giving me all kinds of trouble

 

[BL4K3Y]

Yes, connect the drive to the internal-most port (the one nearest the motherboard).

 

[Nowitzki2004]

now jungleflasher keeps freezing when i try to run it

 

[BL4K3Y]

Try an onboard SATA port, I only ever got one Hitachi drive to work with my VIA card.
