I am installing my X3 today. Since I'm also replacing the HD with a 120 mb 7200 rpm, should I use the ribbon cable that supports 133 ATA? Or should I stick with the ribbon cable that shipped with my Xbox? Thanks
Which ribbon cable?

Hitachi 47DH not recognized
Hey Guys
I am new to flashing the xbox 360 but I have done a good amount of research. Unfortunately I am stuck as my computer refuses to recognize my Hitachi drive.
I have a Hitachi 47dh which i have hooked up to my computer running Vista x32 with the Xecuter connectivity kit v3. It is plugged in through a sata cable into a VIA VT6421 chipset. I already successfully put it into Mode B using the two wire trick which was confirmed by the blinking green led lights on the 360 and the fact that i have to push the eject button twice to open my drive.
I feel like I have done all the correct steps in order for my drive to be recognized by the computer, but it still does not show up under My Computer, the device manager, or in JungleFlasher.
If anyone has any idea where I am going wrong or what my problem may be, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you

Re: Hitachi 47DH not recognized
I had the same problem, but I was not using a connectivity kit.
It finally recognised it when I did this:
My HDD was using a SATA cable, I unplugged it from that port and moved it (i knew windows would find it) and plugged my HITACHI into the port that my HDD was originally in.
found it that time
Also, if you use an older version of JF (like 1.5ish i think) then Windows doesnt even have to recognize the drive
Just click on the HITACHI Tab and make sure "Windows API" isnt checked, check the radio button that says Port I/O
and then choose each port from the drop down menu till one recognises it and then dump and flash!
If i remember correctly the 1.7++ JF didnt let me choose Port I/O over the windows method so I had to flash it that way.
If you need greater detail just shoot me a PM and ill let you know step by step what all i had to do

Re: Hitachi 47DH not recognized
so plugging your Hitachi directly into a SATA port on the motherboard fixed your problem?

Re: Hitachi 47DH not recognized
yes, but I had to plug it into the port my hard drive was using
Step 1: Unplug HDD sata cable and move to another slot
Step 2: Plug Hitachi sata cable into HDD's original slot
and it worked perfect
Windows didn't always recognise it, but i was able to get JF to recognise it through port i/o

Re: Hitachi 47DH not recognized
Primary SATA port is preferred.
I'm 100% sure this will solve your problem.
Yes. Plug your Hitachi drive into the onboard SATA ports available on your motherboard. As windows has to recognize it as an actually PC DVD drive and this is alot easier through the onboard SATA (for me anyways).Jeyser39 said:

Re: Hitachi 47DH not recognized
plugged it directly into the port, restarted the computer, and jf recognized it almost instantly. flashing the thing took less than 5 minutes and was obviously the least of my problems lol. thanks for your help guys

Re: Hitachi 47DH not recognized
Well I am not an expert just the beginner level knowledge. I hope it works for you. May be because of Master Slave configuration. I may be wrong and the other may provide you different suggestions.
