Xbox 360 Samsung Drive Hack
Many people including myself found the instructions too complicated from other websites, so once i completed the hack successfully i decided to write it the instruction as simple as possible.
So here you go:
first step is to open the xbox 360.
Heres a good website to check out:
http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=2610&p=2
First to read the firmware on your xbox 360, you need to connect the xbox 360 dvd drive to your pc via a SATA cable, take the sata cable out of your xbox 360 drive, and attach a longer sata cable from your xbox 360 drive to the motherboard of your PC.
go to www.xbox360-hacks.com
the link is called: download xtreme firmware
i cannot give link because the website is down at the moment
and download the samsung drive hack starter pack. it has all the files required. unzip all of them so u only have to drag and drop.
First format the Floppy, on format window tick 'Create MS-DOS startup disk'
Than copy all contents in the folder named 'Floppy'
Your xbox 360 needs to be powered on and the video cable needs to be connected although it a TV is not required to be attached
Turn on your pc Boot to floppy disk, type in the following command:
mtkflash r /m orig.bin
it will than ask you to choose what drive to read.
click the appropriate one. it should be SEC MASTER
once it has read your drive, it will ask to re-boot pc.
(this process takes only 2-3 minutes)
reboot pc, and go back to windows. take out the orig.bin made on your floppy and save it to a few places so you dont lose it.
There are at least 2 ways to edit the orig.bin file. i found it easier to use HEX wORKSHOP 4.2.
Open hex workshop 4.2 and click open, select the orig.bin firmware. once loaded do the following:
ctrl + G
type in 4000 than ok
than go 'edit', select block, and enter 200.
now copy it. open the xtreme.bin. do the same until its highlighted but instead of copying paste it.
now save this to a few places too - call it modified.bin
save it to your floppy disk and reboot.
once floppy disk has booted type this:
mtkflash w /m modified.bin
choose the drive and it will begin writing.
this should not take longer than 5 minutes.
when it finished re-boot pc - u will be asked to reboot
now test a backed-up game to see if it works. if u have not burnt one yet, try booting a original game, if it does work than u've done it correctly!!!
Now give yourself a pat on the back, thank me for writing it in its simplest form!!!
I will write another guide on how to burn Xbox 360 games later.
*** If i have missed anything out, or you spot any mistakes please do tell me so i can edit it ***

good noob tutorial. if you have the perfect set up this tutorial is perfect for you... however if you are part of the 60% of people who have problems, get a pci card with the via 6421 chipset, update the drivers, and get the mtk via fixed .exe and follow the same instructions.
PS: How do you undo the hack, just do the final step but with orig ?

you could get banned from live, but right now, even after the newest live update, people are not getting banned.
and yes, you can backup your xbox 360 games and play them with this hack.

Can I plug an Sata cable in an IDE slot or do I need a PCI card one?

how could you possibly do that?
you have to get a sata pci card. and not any sata pci card, but one with a vt6421L chipset. they cost about 15 dollars CDN. type in VIA 6421L on google, and find a site to buy it from.

you dont have to have a 6421l chipset. there are compatability threads / lists for which work with which dvd drive.
however i used teh 6421l with 5.20c drivers and it worked perfect.
