Hi,
I have the Hitachi 004DH drive, I intend to flash with Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_3_Stealth firmware. My motherboard is the ASUS Socket 754 K8n I attempted to set the hitachi drive into mode b using the SLAX method on Textbook's tutorial. Everything comes up fine, i eject the drive when it reads spinning up disk, it continues to logon screen. When I got to the login screen I logged in with the provided info then quit out of it. Was I supposed to do something after logging in? Anyhow when windows starts back up I tried checking mode b indicators. Doesn't appear I put it into mode b. So I'm stuck here b/c it's useless to try to flash if it's not in mode b I hear. Any help would be appreciated.

you dont need to log in. As soon as its at the login screen just turn off the pc. Also check and see if it takes to presses to open/close the drive. I was in modeb but my led wasnt flashing.
