Flashing A Hitachi 0078 Problems...

Hi guys,

First post here... I have an xbox360 and im trying to flash the dvd drive with the latest firmware! I have the xbox linked to my onboard sata port on K8V-MX mobo which has VIA chipset i believe. and the power supply is picked up from the xbox itself!

Now I have managed to get the drive into modeb fine using jungleflash selecting the port and pressing mode b button. After restart the bios picks it up fine and the pc startes no problem, windows picks it up after a couple of presses of the eject button upon load up and it shows in my computer and device manager...

Now i go to firmware toolbox to dump the firmware that is on the drive at the moment to extract the key. When i open it up and press tools etc, it sees the drive fine if i press dump it tells me to insert a dvd/cd etc so i do and press the cd close button 3 times or the close button in the program i have tried both methods. The cd spins and as soon as i press the dump button it tells me it "cannot read from source" and the disc stops spinning! I have tried many different methods and timings to no avail. Im pretty sure once i manage to dump whats on there ill be fine to put new firmware on but its doing the dump.

Also i have noticed people say it should play music or dvd's or see xbox games as video files but when i put a disc in it sees nothing at all???? plays nothing at all???? If i go into my computer it just says please insert disc. If i remove it all from the pc the game/disc spins and the draw opens as normal etc

I have seen others who have managed to using my mobo so its not that that is the problem i dont think and the drive worked fine in the xbox when removed yesterday.

Can anyone suggest to me what i am doing wrong/missing/not doing etc ? i dont particularly want to put it back together till its been flashed so ill leave it as is for now....

Thanks guys!
