xbox 360 games wont play now

[Cabalo]

As TSOL said, I've only managed to make my drive detectable using a PCI VIA card and a 32-bits OS.

Cabalo do you think my other desktop runing os microsoft windows xp home edition 32-bits would have the PCI VIA card caues my new computer os is microsoft windows 7 home premium (64-bit)

this is my old computer here

It has an IDE harddrive so I see no reason why it should have one of those cards. Open it up and see for yourself if you must. Jesus, you ask for help and I've given you a complete explanation, in that NO store-bought computer should come with one of these cards. It doesn't make sense from a manufacturers standpoint. The main reason people buy this card is to hack a 360, because any decent motherboard has no other purpose for it.

Do you just want someone to say that yes you can mod this thing without ordering a $15 piece of hardware? You've gotten your answer multiple times man, there's really nothing left to say.

In theory, it should be possible to flash the X360 using different SATA controllers than the VIA one.
Using JungleFlasher I didn't manage to do that, but if I had to blame something, it would have been the inconsistent drivers for 64bit OS.

As I said, I grabbed a crappy old PC I had running windows XP, stuffed the VIA card on it, Jungleflasher and it was done in a couple of minutes. It was easy to find the card on hardware shops around here, so I bet it's equally easy in the States.

I suppose he might as well try hooking it up to his old pc, but I mean if it's not detecting than the obvious problem to me is that his stock integrated chip will not work for the job. Do serial ATA slots even have controllers? Cause I see no reason why his old pc should have any PCI to serial controllers, it just seems unlikely and unnecessary in a prebuild

[Cabalo]

Yeah, they all do have controllers, some are integrated in the chipset, others on the southbridge.
Some years ago, when I flashed the first X360, only the VIA chipset was supported. For what I read on the most recent versions of jungleflasher, other chipsets were supported.
The problem of doing the flash on Vista/7 is installing the drivers, due to its Driver Signature Enforcement, which you have to bypass during boot. Still, once I managed to briefly establish contact with the drive on my X64 installation.
This leads me to believe that on XP installations, running different chipsets, it could work. I have no way to attempt that now though.

thanks cabalo

i will be ordering this one here and puting it on the old computer runing xp 32 bits hope everthing goes will and the drive will be detected this way ? now its sit and wait for it to get here

and @ 1000possibleclaws am not to good with computer and this is my frist time trying to flash my 360 i bought it befor already flash and i did not know that this was only use to hack a 360 i thought i was also use for other thing and i thought my computer would have one caues you were saying (I don't see why a modern prebuilt pc should come with a VIA chipset. They are used so you can add sata cables to older type motherboards )

Edit : would any kind of VIA chipset work on any computer like my old one here
