You use a PCI SATA card only if your motherboard doesnt nativly support SATA connections. You will need to plug your 360's drive into a SATA port in order to flash it. So if your motherboard isnt compatible with SATA you best get a reccomended PCI SATA Card!

Hope that helps!

If you don't know what a PCI card is , you will probably have problems flashing your drive. You should at least have enough computer experience to know what a PCI card is.

A please would be nice ;)

You would be best to get a VIA vt6421A/L based chipset VIA SATA PCI card. But just like Textbook has stated if you don't know what a SATA PCI card is then you are going to have problems.

Please take your time to read the tutorial;

We have warned you that you need a good basic understanding of a PC and if you do mess things up then like I said we have warned you.

Good luck
