Hi all,
After several days of fighting to get a USB to boot my computer unsuccessfully and finding out my floppy drive is junk, I'm wondering how I would go about flashing my 360 using and NTFS boot cd? I see it in the instructions and I have ntfs4dos iso to burn, just not sure how to use it. Any help would be great! Thanks!

just burn the .iso to a cd then set your bios to boot from cdrom first ... it will automatically load answer yes to the question then mount your drive ( your drive will be the one with the most mb ) you can do this by typing .. D: ( or what ever your drive letter is ) after A:\> it will then come up like this D:\> .. then type this command cd IPREP .....iprep will then be loaded you will now be able to use the commands such as idump 1234567 12345 and iflash 1234567 12345 ( use your serial number !!)

When you say "mount your drive" what exactly do you mean?

I have tried this way because I can't boot from USB either, CD loads fine, I answer yes to the license question then I can see 2 drives my C drive which is the largest being 80gb, and a D drive named RAM Drive which is 2mb.

Typing cd IPREP or just IPREP on either drive gives me errors, change directory failed and bad command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh one last thing, I have Samsung MS25.

I gave it one last go last night before I went to bed (4 hours trying 5 different PC's to boot from USB was really getting to me), anyway I opened the Textbook PDF guide one last time and noticed a whole section on booting from NTFS4DOS.

LOL.

So it was nice and easy from there, 360 successfully flashed.
