Hiya,
just to post in a new more relevant window rather than my older post.
I've just attempted to flash for first time in a while, and I'm attempting to use JF on an old celeron 1333mhz machine (always worked fine up to and including the benq drive using the older dos, maximus etc software)
The chipset on the pci sata card being a via6421.
Anyways. I did as instructed removing the via driver and installing portio (portio would not install from the exe so followed the manual install). I have also since tried putting the via drivers back on and removing the portio to no avail.
When I launch JF, the machine does not pick up any drives (only the IDE cdrom if its plugged in).
If on the Winapi I choose ports on the left side, I get nothing by scrolling all way through them. If using portio, I scroll down, but eventually a couple of them cause my screen to go black and the machine then dies needing a reboot?
Any help please? I am right in thinking I'm NOT meant to use slax to get the drive to work in windows or anything? as the guide on jf site seems to imply that I should just switch on the drive when XP is loaded before launching JF?
