It would help if you stated your SATA chipset.

Um yeah did you read the guides??

You have to put it into mode b first!

SATA Chipset: vt6421A

Try an onboard SATA port if you can, or try selecting WinAPI as opposed to PortIO or vice versa.

You don't use the unlock CD until the drive is in Mode B.

Send Mode B first and then use the Audio Unlock CD .
