QUIDS IN THEN.LOL
ARE YOU POWERING UP UR XBOX AS U BOOT UR PC AND YOUR 360 IS CONNECTED TO YOU SATA?HAVE YOU TRIED USING IPREP?

 

[abeerdrinker]

which port on the sata card are u using? You should be using the inner most port out of the 4 ports it comes with. The one port that faces towards your memory or other side of motherboard. Not the one on the outside

Hey fellas,
i also need some help. I have the same problem. I am using iPrep with the bootCD option. I have the VIA vt6421 (2port SATA + 1 port UltraATA-133) chipset, but I dont get the sata drive option when running iDump. Could I get some assistance please.

p.s. With the bootcd I have, i selected to option to confirm items to load at startup so I could see what was goind on. While dos was loading, it displayed this though. Could this be the issue?

Hi.
before you select no2 as primaster turn off your xbox then as you hit no2 to select xtreme pri master count 10 seconds then turn on xbox,it should then start the dump.This is the same for flashing.If 10 seconds dont work try a different time like 4,6 8 12 etc untill it dumps.
hope this helps bud.
