Hi everyone. I have had some problems when flashing my Hitachi 59DJ drive.

A friend and I had successfully flashed his Samsung MS25 drive, but for some
reason, we couldn't get mine to work.

We got my Hitachi into ModeB using the Slax method, booted up into Windows,
it recognized the disc, I had LOTR: Fellowship of The Ring inside.
It appeared as the J Drive.

ERROR: Hitachi DVD drive is NOT flashing...

WARNING: One of THREE things could be wrong

#1: Shut-down all your back-ground programs
#2: Windows is in-compatible, try SAFE MODE
#3: Your DVD drive is not really in Mode B!

I tried using safe mode, and shutting down all the
backgroung programs, and i'm pretty sure my drive is
in ModeB too. I am using a Rosewill RC-212 VIA SATA card..
any suggestions? (I'd rather not buy another SATA card, this one
took me a month to save up for >_<)
