Scanning for hardware changes

-the portio option is greyed out in jf
-via ports only-> checking it and it says no via ports were found.

when i booted with xbox on the drive showed up during POST but bsods.

are you using a VIA 6421 PCI card?
if not, JF won't find VIA ports

if you are using onboard SATA, there are a couple things that can help detection
1. put the xbox drive in SATA 0 on your computer motherboard (or SATA 1 if you don't have a SATA 0)
2. disable RAID and AHCI in your BIOS

im using onboard sata. i changed the xbox drive to sata1(A0) and pc booted with xbox on without bsod'ing, raid disabled, didnt see anything about ahci. portio option is still greyed out and it still wont find the drive.

portio only works for hitachis when you use a VIA card with driver removed (as described in the tutorial)

however, win api is a much better way to flash hitachis

make sure you have the "include non-IDE ports" checked

the non ide seemed to do the trick had to manually go thru each port until i found the right drive, flashed and tested with forza 4. thanks
