Thanks but i already have it thats what i was going from I trying to fond out why the flash did not work and there nothing in this ook about that it just presume every thing goes fine
I am having the exact same problem, the flash goes good, then when I try to play a X-Box game it won't work. There must be a problem with this new firmware. Will this paticular flash only let you play Recorded games?? Hopefully someone who is knowledgeable will help us out.
UPDATE.... I have found a solution that has worked for me and will probably work for you. Insead of using the "FLASH24S" use the "FLASH17S" the only difference is the "FLASH17S" does not have the (F900 Core). Which if you don't plan to dump games with the drive the "FLASH17S" firmware will work for you. I have had no problems at all since using it. Hope this helps you.
