hi,

didnt realise you were trying to flash a hitachi with via card. hitachi's are very different to other drives so no drivers are required. Look at page 7 of JF tutorial and that will explain. Iff you still cant get it to recognise your drive, p.m me and i'll try to help

dale;)

AHHH I thought it was not stated in the last tutorial, I just assumed it meant the via card not normal onboard sata's

Thanks Dale will give it another go later, and look through jf tut
