An update has been released for the method to set mode b via windows, and the lite-on win32 based key retriever…
I have written a new exe that uses a different PortIO driver. This new one seems far more stable than the Geek’s Hideout IO driver that I used previously, and as of now has not caused any BSOD’s..
The only disadvantage is that there is a small install that needs to be done, but it’s very simple, only needs to be done once and details are in the rar

This nice little piece of software eliminates the need for slax, and will put a hitachi drive in modeb in windows!
This exe is a win32 app that will put a Hitachi in Mode-B by sending cdb E7 H I T 30 90 90 D0 01
Be warned: This win32 program does not use the windows API. The exe writes directly to the ATA controller’s I/O ports (which requires Geek Hideout’s I/O dll, which I have included in the rarr). It also requires that you be using an ATA - SATA adapter to connect your 360 drive to your PC, or an SATA controller that has a legacy mode (try the BIOS setup options on your controller).
This new method would not be possible if not for SeventhSon. Big thanks to him for sharing his work with others!
