- [11:19] <+Oggy> X-S homepage specifically states...
- [11:19] <+Oggy> At this moment, we have had quirky issues in regards to VIA chipsets and flashing/reading/erasing the LiteOn drive. Please pay attention to the 2nd prompt in particular after hitting the Lite-On-Erase button. Power cycling the drive at the correct time is very important for VIA users. If the VIA polls the drive after erase, it WILL freeze/lock your computer. Tools for DOS erase/flash/key/spoof are included in this release for any users having difficulties within windows.

- [11:20] <+Oggy> Use via 6421 w/530c drivers and follow the tutorials PROPERLY to minimize issues
- [11:21] <+[Ex0r]> Oggy- if mentioned happens, does it result in a bricked drive?
- [11:21] <+Oggy> It should be erasable, I can erase bad flash fine on my VIA 6421 with 530c drivers, and/or AMD 780G/SB700 SATA on my Gigabyte board (other SB700's should work)
- [11:22] <+Oggy> Trust me, I tried enough times.
- [11:22] <+[Ex0r]> k, so even if it does lock up like that, you should still be able to erase it.
- [11:22] <+Oggy> 'should' but we cant test every possible setup
- [11:24] <+Oggy> 6421 needs the DeviceID trick to stop hanging of system, more info on this later
