u didnt follow it to a T.

If u did u would know that u cannot use a sil chipset to flash a samsung drive!!!!
It just wont work.
u have to use a VIA Chipset (via vt6421l) is the recomended card for sammy drives!

i suggest u get one then try again.

im using Textbooks Xbox 360 Firmware tutorial and where it lists the onboard SATA it says SIL 3114 and says yes under the works tab, that is why i thought it would work, but from what you are saying, this information is wrong, or im missunderstanding the tutorial?

 

[ally1440]

sorry i didnt see that in the guide because i didnt look at the on board part because im using a card.

it says

Asus A8N5X SIL 3114 Yes Yes Reported working only if you
flash the chip to non-RAID BIOS?

 

[redjr]

does that mean i have to disable the raid feature in my bios (if thats even possible) ? or am i pretty much looking at buying a different sata controller?
sorry for my lack of understanding

 

[ally1440]

if it is onboard u have u will have a option in ur bios to set it to sata or raid. have a deep look in your bios for it.
it will be there!

if not mabe u should invest in a vt6421l card.
i got mine for £13.00
