1st im not sure about vista.klutsh says iprep will work in vista(ive never done it).
im not understanding what you are doing by going in safe mode.you need a via chip set to flash this one works.

boot your computer up on a flash that you made with iprep.after that hook up the 360 dvd drive and try idump it should list xtreme pri master.
after that just go by the guild after that.

if you need more help just ask.

Ok i did that but what i mean by going to safe mode with command promt is that my device wont boot into DOS with the flash drive so i just go to safe mode and then acces H: and then iDump and stuff but it just wont detect it for some reason and i tried dumping it sais no drive detected and when cpomputer starts VIA chipset 6421 checks for the devices and it sais press g to continie because the bios or something isnt installled

you cant flash a v25 or v28 from inside of windows(even in safe mode)
if it wont boot to a flash then you could use a floppy(scary)there is a different way of doing it off the hard drive i just dont know it.

(unless something has changed)

Correct - you can't flash from windows.

You can use the NTFS4DOS cd and mount a NTFS partition to run the apps from. This is how i flash all my sammys. It is outlined in textbooks tutorial.
