Is the new external board optional or essential. My friend had a 2.6 installed for him a few months ago with no external board and it works fine. It just seems a bit of a pointless addon, since everything works fine without it.

I would think that you need it. I mean you have to set the dip switchs to on,on,off,off and off so to set the first one meg. I see after you load the bios i think you shouls be able to remove it. He might have taken it off to not let anyone know he has one. I like the beautiful colors. I would leave it on so that you can tell if the mod is in modded state or in the backup state.

The 2.6 won't work without an external switch - did you see the guy physically put the chip in the Xbox?

Has your friend opened the Xbox to make sure there's a chip in there?

How does he disable the chip in order to boot to a std MS BIOS?

Jungleflasher or Toolbox for Hitachi 79?

Hello, I have a Hitachi 79 drive and my SATA card is a VIA VT6421. I've seen so many different things about whether to use Junglflasher or Toolbox that I don't know what to use now! Is it just a matter of opinion?

Which should hopefully work best for me?
Thanks!!

Seems like JungleFlasher is the most recommeneded. Firmware Toolbox is a little outdated nowadays.

jungleflasher - everytime!
follow the jungleflasher tutorial
remove the drivers for the card and ensure you use primary port!

Thanks!
Do I remove ALL the drivers for the card? I've been pretty confused about how to go about all the installation stuff for the card. I installed some 5.30 driver for the card, but idk if that's the right one or not.

Thanks for the help!

I also see in jf where it says to uninstall the drivers, so I did that, but jf still doesn't see the drive..
