hi everyone im about to flash my first hitachi drive , ive done 5 sammys so far , with the hitachi do i connect it up (using conectivity kit ) and reboot pc and then double click the flash prog ? or do i boot pc and when in windows turn on the drive and use the command prompt ?

cheers

Start your pc With the connectivity kit button down (mode b). The drive will auto recognise in Windows.
From a command prompt change to the directory you have your files in. Execute the bat file according to your drive letter (giving a unique 4 digit number so your f/w dumps go into their own directory safely aside from the flash prog)
