i'm guessing my sata chipset isnt compatible since i've been trying to get slax to work and it hasnt yet..if i do the crossover method, even tho its still using the same sata port to connect to the xbox will i beable to flash my drive? is it just slax-sata that are uncompatible but sata-xbox should be fine?
thanks
also one more thing...does it have to be a 1k resistor or will other resistors work also?
I tried slax first and it didn't work, but crosswire did. So it should work for you. Also, you don't need a resister, if you amke sure you release the wires as soon as the lights come on.
