Hey people of 360mods.net i have just been told the bad news.....

I have to buy a VIA VT6421A Sata + IDE PCI card for my PC. I don't want to becuase i got to Sata port in my PC that i don't even use and i already got 2 IDE slots and i don't need another i'm just trying to say that this thing is a waste in some sence but i had an thought that what if that this PCI card can be used on all XBOX 360 DVD drives for flashing. Wink

So i'm just wondering if i can use it to flash all the XBOX 360 DVD Drives that are currently out in everyones 360's?? becuase i was really thinking of selling it again on ebay after purchasing it and flashing my own console, but remebering about updates so i have to keep it now.

To answer your question yes, you should be able to use the VIA VT6421A to flash all drives. The reason I say "should" is because I've had problems with it when it comes to Hitachi's for some reason, but that's just my case. The VIA VT6421A is definetly a keeper, I wouldn't recommend selling it again because you'll probably end up wishing you hadn't.

Ya see thats my problem is that i have the SiS chip set and in the tutorial it says that SiS is compitable with it so whats the deal

" there only 13 buck plus some shipping. plus you need one for a samsung drive. "

I bought mine off of ebay for 6 bucks plus shipping coming to a total of around 20 bucks and i saw websites for 30 bucks without shipping costs added yet. Ebay everything man.

Unfortunatly, mine didn't work for me. My bios is too old to reconize the sata config. My device manager sees my chip. Every time i connect the 360, i get a code 10, but i know the pci sata chip works.

Sata is still a lil new, so alot of computers don't recongnize it. So just make sure that you have the right computer for the job (which you obviously already do, conidering your motherboard has a sata port).

And do your research first. The more you know, the less likely your are to mess things up. Plus, there's a lot of ppl are asking simple dumb questions. Questions that have already been asked in the forum, just too lazy to look for it.
