Worst Newbie Question Ever

[poop]

Let me start by saying PLEASE FORGIVE ME:

I've read a ton of posts, I've watched the videos and read the tutorials. I have a very basic, very stupid question.


I have a Hitachi drive, V78. I wanted to install the Maximus software. My question is where can I buy the cable and where the #@$% does it plug into my computer.

As I said, I know it's a very stupid question and again please forgive my "newbieness"

you need a sata port on the computer and i got my SATA cable at best buy for 20 bucks

 

[agentash]

ya dont know where to plug the sata cable??? maybe you shouldnt even be attempting to flash your drive

Go to the tutorials, print out Textbooks tutorial, the complete thing is about 80 pages. Read it ALL, read it again get all the files that are linked in text's tutorial. There is also a link to it where you can watch him flash a hitachi drive. Do that, then if you still have questions, come back here.

You should have atleast a basic understanding of a pc and the fact that your un sure of where to plug the SATA cable in scares me i suggest you get a person who knows what they are doing to flash your 360.
Or really take your time and read the tutorial.

if you knew it was such a stupid question why ask you could have used google and found out yourself!

I appreciate everyone's concern. I know enough about computers to be able to mod satelite boxes. I haven't paid for satelite service in the last 6 years. I've just not heard the term SATA. But I'd like to thanks the ones who responded with helpful info. If anyone wants to learn how to do satelite let me know.

 

[frittfall]

yes interested in satelitte! ;o)

 

[hubbley2k]

I'm sorry but you can't know enough about computers if you don't know what the term SATA is.

Hi m8..if you dont ask you`ll never know..everyone has to start somewhere..(normally at the start lol :lol: ).If I were you I`d check to see if my PC`s motherboard has SATA connections before buying a SATA cable.
I saw a SATA cable in a local shop priced @ £2.50(uk pounds)

Good luck and keep asking..

I'd like to thanks those who actually helped me in my adventure here. I got my box done. So far so good. Now for my next question.

I bought a Pioneer DVR-111DBK, how do I open it? I don't want to break it but can't seem to find any instructions on how to open it.

Please keep the flaming to a minumum. It only takes up band width.

Why are you opening it??? 8O That's your burner, you don't want to be doing the hotswap with that one.

Just my 2 cents...get a KREON drive on Ebay. You can backup whole games without needing to swap dvds or merge ss.bin, etc afterwards. (Think DVDDecrypter, rip in 1 step then burn in 1 step.)
