I had a falcon with a benq drive and i flashed it some time back with ixtreme 1.4 but the system RROD'd and after repairing it twice it died. Back ups were working fine on it at the time.
I recently decided to get a new xbox (jasper) and i tried to use the drive from the old system in it but when i try to boot any game orig or back up it just says play dvd.
I've been out of date for about a year or so now any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You can't just swap a drive for a drive. You need to set the DVD key on the new drive to be the same as the old drive.

You cant just swap the drives, because each drive is associated with each console.

You need to spoof the drive, if your putting it into a new console.

Cant say ive tried it myself, but i know plenty of people on here would be able to direct you.

Heres a link that may help...
