Jester Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Have you tried running it again without the hacksaw files just downloading the new lpinstaller from the site and running it. Ummmmm What kind of drive do you have??? Try a Live Linux distro and see if you can play with the drive that is what helped me get mine back. It was a non-u3 drive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I figured being connected would fix it you possibly did not have the files in the correct directory that is why when it went to flash the drive it corrupted it. Not sure how but sounds like what might have happened. Then just re-installing when connected to the net it flashed the normal stuff on there. Normally you would not want the installer to connect to the net you want it to flash your drive with the switchblade/hacksaw software instead. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
