For the First Questions...
you can either flash your DVD Drive or put a modchip on it...95% will say flash it...
for the HD question i believe i read somewhere about llama replacing there original with a larger one but im not sure...google will be your best friend with that question..
i suggest you download the tutorial on the first page.

Ok I was wondering if there is any way to softmod the XBOX360 like using a program and having Linux or something because someone else got the splinter cell linux on their 360. Any help would be appreciated.

ok I have another question. How likely is it that you will get banned from xbox live if you flash your drive. Like if you only play origionals online and play backups offline

There's is no 100% way to be safe if you're using a flashed 360 on LIVE. There's always a chance of a ban. Especially with GTA4 right around the corner. There's already a sticky about banning and GTA4.

hey guys.so i've been trying to figure this out all night but i can't get past a certain point with this tut. Everything is hooked up and i have my usb with all the files on there. and i have my PC rdy to boot via USB. Agreed to the disclaimer,lol..then it says i must turn on the xbox dvd drive, enter in my serial and press 1 for that pri master(XTREME)...once i do, nothing happens?... the tut says it's suppose to read the drive and say that a green message will popup, but nothing happens at all. can someone help me out here? oncei get past this i should be fine but i'm not sure what to do.

What speeds did you guys flash your drives to? I flashed mine to 8x and I'm wondering if I should have flashed to 12x. GTA4 does a lot of loading on the fly so it probably wold be beneficial to re-flash to a higher speed wouldn't it?

X360 - iXtreme1.4 ||| Xbox - EvoX Dash ||| PS2 - CC 2.0 PRO SLE ||| Dreamcast ...lol ||| NDS - Acekard 2/M3 Simply/EZ Flash 3-1 ||| Rooted HTC Hero with Ic3rom

dont know if your mobo sata is compatible with dosflash...
make sure u disable raid in your bios.
if that dont work u can try and use the ms28 10 second trick because it sounds like it hanging like an ms28.

yeah.i tried the 10 second rule,that didnt work.it's weird but when my sata cable is plugged into SATA 1 it says no drive detected( i have 4 SATA ports) but when its in 3 or 4 it works...not sure,it comes up with the Xtreme Pri Master, whic hi click on,then it just hangs and doesn't do anything.

thats the one i have and works great with benq's, just make sure you plug the drive into the sata slot closest to the front of the PC.

if you followed the guide for booting off of a usb stick and everything went through from reading the firmware and then flashing the 4 banks you should be good to go.
the ntfs cd is an alternative way.
