[quote name='MusicNoteLess']He doesn't have a SATA card, he had SATA ports on his mobo. We first tried his mobo, but we got an error. We then tried my SATA card that I specifically ordered for my system, but we got the same error. I'm thinking that something was wrong with the cd I burned to make my drive go into mode B. Either I have to use Slax 2.0 or reburn 2.1 with a better blank cd. I don't know, but I'm *THIS* close to hacking it.[/QUOTE]
I know what you mean.
Today my cousin had/has me doing his Hitachi.
It's a pain in the ass. The process should be easy, but it's just not.
I can get it into Mode B easy, Windows recognizes it, but as soon as I try to flash it (using many methods) I get errors.
I'm going to try using a different SATA port and a different PC tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I

ing quit.
I hate Hitachi drives now.
Did you say you have a 78? His is a 59. To me, 78 seems easier.
