Need Help With Slax On Hitachi 78fk
« on: August 15, 2007, 04:27:00 PM »

I had trouble with slax 2.1 when i tried using it, but 2.0a1 worked immediately.  Just boot to the slax disc (in your PC drive) and it should do it's thing; if you use 2.0 when it says "spinning up disc" eject the 360 tray for it to continue.  Once it gets to the login prompt it should be in modeb.  Some people need to turn on their 360 before the pc and some need to wait until slax begins loading for it to work.  

Once in modeb, restart the pc and eject the tray a few times at the windows loading screen.

When i boot slax and start it , the Screen becomes black after few seconds and nothing happens anymore.
But The Drive is in Mode B properly

I read this on one of the other post.  In order to get the drive into mode b:
First -- load the slax disk (I had 2.1).
Second -- wait until it gets to the point of "spinning disk........" and press eject on the 360 to skip to the login portion leaving the drive open
Third -- press the eject button once to close and see if it goes to mode b, if it doesn't; eject the drive open again and this time press the eject button 3 times in the process of it closing.  That normally verifies the drive is in mode b.  Restart the computer w/o the slax disk inside and DO NOT turn off the xbox 360.  It did it for me with the 78fk!

Hope that helps!
