HITACHI 79 Definition of "drive not being recognised" by JF

[Longshanks]

Hooked Hit 79 to VIA card with drivers removed and using Port IO blah blah...

Drive appears in top left of Hit tab and in main body so it is recognised. Get drive into mode B so it is recognised. Unable to play audio unlock CD so it is not recognised

Also tried Win API or whatever it's called with drivers installed and the drive isrecognised everywhere including the drop down list in the right hand corner of the Hit tab. Makes no difference to outcome as mode B achieved as per tut but Failed to play audio unlock CD

Just like someone to explain recognisedi n the above circumstances.

Try burning the cd at a slower speed. Since it's not a large file if you burn to fast it can be corrupt.

I hate hitachi. I had a 79 the other day that was spoofed as a liteon. It went to mode B but then since it was showing as a liteon, windows was installing liteon drivers, not hitachi drivers, so I couldn't get the drive to show properly in windows and couldn't use the unlock cd.

Are you pressing the scan button in jf? Or go to device manger and scab for hardware changes.

Scan button in JF. Does that make a difference?
