So I am going to say that it MAY have been a bad SATA cable... After successfully flashing the drive via a USB converter, I opened up MakeMKV and it read the drive and had the correct updated drive info. I then shut down the computer and reattached via the SATA cable. Drive did not populate in windo...

All that trouble.... and then tossing it on the USB converter worked like a champ! Well on the second older USB converter anyway. Windows didn't want to recognize the drive on the newer converter but no problems on the older one!

Thanks for all the help guys!

Any thoughts on hitting continue after the error on the SDFTool flasher?

I did it anyway....nothing happened, haha.

LG flasher looked like it might be working but then threw a checksum error and tossed the drive into boot mode so I had to reboot to get the drive working again.

Any other ideas? Haha

Edit: I did change from SATA port 5 to something between 1 and 4.

Ok so I used the ASUS ODD flasher on your referenced thread...I had to install dot net 3.5, grr. Still didn't work though... got this error.

It is an ASUS Z590-PLUS-WIFI, so the SATA chipset is the Z590 and the drivers installed are the Intel drivers.

The drive is a 5.25" internal hooked up via SATA.

Long time lurker, first time poster... I have an ASUS BW-16D1HT with stock 3.10 firmware. After reading a bunch on this forum, it seems like I should be able to flash that to the MK 3.10 version? If not then you can stop me here... To attempt the flash, I am using the SDFtool Flasher 1.3.0, I am not...
