Let me guess, you didn't set the right i/o port in JF before flashing the intended drive?

I would have thought there is way to recover the drive, but I haven't had to do this before.

You'll need something that can flash/erase the drive in raw format even if it can't be detected.

For example, dosflash. On dosflash startup, the intro to the ihas will fail. Resend it and then power cycle the ihas.

Thats the problem with not using the usb pro its too easy to select the wrong port by accident, hope u get it sorted like people are selling the ihas drives for around £50 now and i paid £15.

You can flash it via jf and x360usb. Will further inform you when I get my stuff back together from moving.

Use dosflash16 to erase the drive first then write the new firmware. If no joy, erase the firmware again using dosflash16 and then completely restart dosflash and write the correct firmware, keep your fingers crossed.

You need to clear out the bad firmware first, it doesnt matter if dosflash doesnt recognize the drive properly, just erase it as no firmware is better than the state it is in at the moment amoungst other reasons I do not have time to explain.
