It won't get you into mode b, but if you plug it into an ide dvd-rom and boot into windows then swap the sata cable to your Hitachi you will be able to flash your drive just fine. Read the tutorial for a better explanation.

Yeah you can use a IDE drive with a adaptor that makes it SATA. Then just swap the SATA cable to your hitachi and windows will still think that the previous drive is pluged in and you can flash with no problems. Your motherboard still needs a SATA connection though.
