Hitachi 47d using usb-sata

[buttwad]

Here is my dilemma, i have aquired a 360 with 3rrod and a hitachi drive. I have fixed the 3rrod and am trying, and failing, to flash the drive. I have managed to flash a couple of hitachi drives using the usb to sata converter.
I have managed to get the drive into mode b, using slax, and have got the drive to read in the device manager, although it appears as a usb mass storage device as well as a hitachi cd/dvd drive. The cd/dvd drive has an exclamation mark next to it saying error 10, device wont start.

I am trying to use jungleflasher, as I used this before, but it wont see the drive. I have managed to get the drive to appear, but when I try to read the drive it just stops responding.

Any help gratefully received as starting to annoy me now.


Cheers guys n gals

Any chance the usb adapter you are using is one of those 3 in 1 types?
They are known to be problematic.
The other alternative option is to try the JungleUSB drivers, currently at v0.1.

Have got the drivers as jungleusb. The cd/dvd drive shows as both mass storage and as drive, but error 10 on drive.
Am using vista, maybe try xp...???

[stefff]

have you tried to deaktivate the usb mass storage as it is showing and just run it as hitachi cd/dvd drive ;) ?

[buttwad]

If i do, it removes the cd/dvd as well.......thing is I have done hitachis this way before....AAHAHHH...lol

You still didnt answer one of my questions, is the adapter you have one of those three in one usb-sata types?

Eg.

If it is, bin it and get a new one, they are known to be problematic.

Myself, I have this kit :

Esata usb adapter : http://tinyurl.com/oo6bry
Esata to sata cable : http://tinyurl.com/esatacable

Both of these work great with JungleUSB drivers, I have tested them with a 47,59, 78 and 79 hitachi with no problems!
