Just succesfully flashed a 78 and a 79 in Vista32 with Via 6421

Followed the JF manual closely but not completely.

Fresh vista 32 install (as I use 64 bit)

.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and updates all installed

Installed portIO 32 manually

Installed viamraid.sys manually after port I/O installed (could not dump firmware useing port I/O commands in JF)

Opened JF set Mode B, did the drive door open, unplug, wait, plug back in and close drive door on 78 Mode B set

For 79 had to use the unlock CD

Waited for windows to pick up drive, then refreshed list and drive was there

Then switched from Port I/O mode to Win Api mode and dumped the drive, once dumped saved to the firmware folder as specified in JF README

Got all my drive info so I knew which firmware to add to that folder, both the original version, and the iXtreme version, as my drive had 1.4 on it

Then restored the firmware as asked to set up the flash, and saved the original to a different location.

Then clicked flash iXtreme, waited for it to complete, and then shut down PC, unplugged drive, and all was good when re-installed to the XBOX

Good luck all, hope this helps some of you.

You burnt it right? When you say it wont read it, what actually happens?
