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

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

Ok I JF still not recognizing drive, but it does show in my pc's boot menu, I have been trying to get it into mode b using slax 2.1 but everytime I boot it from my pc drive it loads first 2 lines of text, then it shuts my pc down for 2 seconds the repeats the whole thing again


Any advise plz
