    ....Ok, so I asked this question in the wrong place.

    Hi,

    After doing about two weeks of research into this I'm non the wiser

    does anyone have any rel information on how to swap disc drives on an xbox 360. I have one with the red-ring that has a Samsung drive and the other which is perfect except the drive is broke. I simply want to swap them.

    I know I need to read the key from one and spoof the other. But how ?

    Has anyone done this ? Any help welcome !

    Can you identify the other drive before we begin? It's a fairly easy procedure & we can talk you through it without issue hopefully. Can you describe what operating system you have, and if you have on board sata ports?

    Didn't you say in your other thread that you wanted to do this to get rid of the RROD? This won't, unless your RROD is related to a DVD Timeout.

    Ok, you now need to connect up the broken drive to your pc via one of the sata ports, whilst leaving it powered by the 360 (assuming you don't have the ck3 tool etc). From there, use Jungle Flasher to set your drive into vendor mode & dump the existing firmware. Also save your drive key seperately just incase.
