Shouldn't make a difference at all. Have you tried using InstantCake on the drive? If so, what happened? Also, ensure that the drive itself isn't defective (use manufacturer's diagnostics on it).

For answers to commonly asked questions, please refer to the
InstantCake Instructions and Release Notes,
Official InstantCake Discussion Thread, and the
Official PTVnet Discussion Thread

Yes , I tried the IC app. and had to use the roundabout method to go through.Used PVTlba48 and copykern commad. Now the drive just spins
blinks a coulpe of times, my turbonet car doesn't even blink once.I think the Ultra IDE controller card I left plugged in messed things up.
