Hi i have a PAL xbox 360 with a hatachi drive

I own blank dual layer dvds and a dvd dual layer rw

I just need to know afew things and was wondering if anyone could lend a hand

My goal is to be able to keep my games in mint condition so to be able to download the same game and play it.

I know im supposed to get some sort of firmware and thats about it

I dont know what sort of hitachi drive it is. Could someone help


Would you also mind telling me if my consoler brakes is it still under warenty and secondly...
any changes in the firmware i make, can i undo them and put my console back to the way it was. Any help would be much apriciated.

Ok bro, I can try and help ya here.
You first need to open the 360 to determine which Hitachi drive you have. Doing this voids the warrenty of the 360 because under the faceplate you'll see a silver Microsoft security sticker. When you open the console, this most of the time either rips or pulls off. If you can manage to get this sticker off without leaving any of it on the console then maybe they'll still honor the warrenty. You can try by using a hair dryer on the sticker. The glue heats up allowing it to be removed without damage.

If you have a 0078fk drive then I can't help you. Any other version and I can.

How to open your 360 -

Here are the things you need to flash your 360 hitachi drive the easiest way.

1. PCI SATA card - http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ADAPTEC-ASH-1205...1QQcmdZViewItem

2 - Slax CD (burn this .iso to a CD or DVD) - http://rapidshare.de/files/35595007/p_slax2.0_alpha1.iso.html

3 - Opa-Xtreme 2.3 Stealth Revision2 firmware - Can't provide a link, against forum rules. Google it, you may find it there.

That'll all you'll need.
Slax will put the Hitachi in ModeB with this particular PCI SATA card. You can then flash it with the above named firmware.

Here's a guide -

PCI SATA card ... what do i do with this, cant i just burn the firmware to a dual layer dvd disk and do it that way, id rather not have to wait on buying stuff as im away with work in 3 days, also, can you give me a link to a site that i can use to open my xbox as the one above is not working for me.

Thank you

The DVD drive in the 360 is a SATA drive. There is no way to get it into MODEB (which it HAS to be) with a DVD+R DL. You need a PCI SATA card or a motherboard with SATA ports so you can hook your 360 drive to your PC.

Someone else might have another link to open the 360 as the one I gave you is the best and only one I had.
