Hi there,

When my X3 boots up with the red "x" led on i get the contact vendor error message. (I believe the red x light is boot without modchip right ??)

NB
I have installed a new hdd in it recently, and it boots fine to evox

any ideas anyone

Cheers

write verify failed?

ok so i am trying to install LT on my 7 series lite-on drive...

it was installed with 1.6 before this...i get the drive into vendor mode, i got the key, i am just trying to flash with LT now but it starts writing gets about halfway through bank one, stalls out foR a minute, not the computer, just the bank writing, then it goes to reading the banks and fails...

anyone got any clues on what i amm doing wrong...if i missed something ya need just lemme know...

i am running XP Pro...

Re: write verify failed?

i've had this happen before with a benq. the only way i could get it to finish the erase/write was to do it in Dos. i'm not sure what the problem is, i tried power cycling a number of times and tried the flash over, it just would never get past the banks. i tried it in Dosflash and worked perectly the first time.

Re: write verify failed?

did you go into your BIOS and change startup to USB device? is your flash drive the bootable kind?
