Flashing Hitachi Drive with Intel ICH7 Chipset?

[spudz72]

Hi All,

I'm new here and I have been doing lots of searches and reading the forums and other sites getting ready to attempt flashing my 360 with hitachi drive. 

I just wanted to confirm if my motherboard which is an Asus P5LD2-VM with Intel 945G Northbridge and Intel ICH7 Southbridge chipset is ok for this?

I  have an earlier Xbox 360 that I bought before last Xmas.  I plan on using the Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_2_Stealth file to get the job done. 

If anyone could let me know if I should expect any probs it would be appreciated...

i have intel ich7 chipset on asus p4p800 board used same firmware you want to and worked fine for me without having to hex edit but you have different motherboard so possibly you may have to use it.hope this helps a little

just as extra note used the slax cd to get into mode b but if you have alcohol uninstall it first as this iterfered with windows seeing the drive after my bios picked up drive no problem. as soon as uninstalled alc windows saw drive straight away and flashed like a good un.one again great work by the people responsible for this firmware and we appreciate all their effort and hard work.

Hi, I Have ICH7 too and no needed to edit anything to get Hitachi recognized by windows in modeb. (I used connectivity kit from xecuter). Only for Samsung drive I edited mtkflah to get drive recognized.
