1. On the PC you're using, did you detach all hard drives from it? yes
2. Did you create the USB boot device w. HDDHackr on it? yes
3. Can you launch the HDDHackr program? yes
4. Is the HDDS.bin file named properly? yes
i seriously spent about 2 hours on it. i can run hddhackr fine and it sees the drive, but once it tries to flash the drive, it says it can't or something and asks to resend until it works or whatever, and then does nothing.
