Are you talking about the old Xbox 1 or the Xbox 360? If Xbox 360, what two drives (brands) are you using?

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

The dg-16d2s is a Lite-On drive (working).
The vad6038 is a BenQ drive (non-working).

Both drives have keys that match their original consoles. You now have a working Lite-On drive in a console that came with a BenQ, but the Lite-On's key doesn't match the "new" console's key.

(using Jungle Flasher) You have to extract the key from the BenQ drive, then spoof that key to the Lite-On drive,so that it will work in the BenQ's console.

Simplified: the drive & console keys must match.

Read Jungle Flasher's tutorial.
