Xbox Version: unk
360 version: unknown
Setup:

Asus A7V600
Windows XP w/ SP2
Onboard Sata
VIA 8372 ors omething like that

My hitachi 47d gets into Mode B, but is not recognized by Windows AT ALL! I tried the Slax CD, and even did the two wire trick and made SURE that it was in Mode B. Boot into windows, nothing there. Tried it several times, but still no go.

However, during bootup, the computer DOES read the drive, so I'm pretty sure its compatible? I read some dood w/ the similar setup, but his board was the A7V600-X, maybe diff chipset? Am I doing something wrong here?

Any help is appreciated

try what I had to do, I only connected the sata cable into the drive as the windows logo screen was booting, found it fine then, or have you tried the computer management in control panel administrative tools to see if windows has it but just not asigned a drive letter as I have had this with usb drives, maybe same with some sata drives.

MMhh, the drive always appears in Bios.

When Windows XP cant detect drive, I'm sure it's not in mode b!

Go to My Computer > View System Information (left bar) > Hardware > Device Manager
Expand the 'DVD/CD-ROM drives' tree and see if there's an Hitachi drive there (or any drive you dont recognize). If there is, right click it, choose Properties, go to Volumes then click Populate.
This should give your drive a letter and it will display in My Computer wink.gif

Thats what I had to do, I only had to do it once (the first time). From now on, it recognizes it straight away.

I did that.... Only my IDE cd-rom drive is there...
There are no unknown new units, and windows can't find the drive..

I was having the exact same problem, so I went and bought a sata to usb converter and it worked great, I spent over a week trying to get it detected with the sata conncetor on my motherboard, always detected in bios but never in windows.

Now, when do you use the convertor? Did you use it when you flashed the drive? BIOS won't detect a drive that's hooked up to a USB port (as far as I know).... will it?

Disable your SATA raid in the BIOS and upgrade your SATA drivers. Give that a try. Also try different SATA ports. If that doesn't work try safe mode as well. Just curious - what chipset do you have?

My 8237 worked fine. It even put the drive into ModeB with the Slax CD.

To check if your drive is in ModeB:
- The Xbox 360 power light should be rapidly flashing
- It may take 2 eject presses to open/close tray
- Tray ejects itself back out automatically after a second

So first, make sure your drive is in ModeB.
