eXobex is the man for this fella!

Basically you just open the console, take the drive out and connect it to your PC and flash a new firmware to the drive which allows it to play backups.

http://xbox-scene.com is a good place to start mate :)

You want the iXtreme firmware for whichever type of drive you have.

Basically the drives are linked to the console via a unique key embedded within the DVD drive - if that doesn't match then you can't load anything.

The hacks basically get you to read off the key from your existing drive - and then patch a hacked firmware with your unique key and then this is flashed back to the console.

Don't go and turn the console on without the drive attached though as it's said that's one of the ways MS monitor for consoles that are being tampered with.

Connectivity Kit from NEO
