Hello all...I've read a bunch of posts with this subject - but none with a definitive answer. Here's the deal.

I swapped the DVD Drive of a new XBOX 360 with that of a launch Unit. I have the new guts with an old drive. Old 360 was giving me the three rings of death. My old was flashed, so I wanted to keep it. Both drives were Hitachi's.

Here's the old drive I have with the new guts:
GDR-3120L
from Sept 05
0046 DH

No Idea what firmware it was flahed with, as I did not flash it myself. Plays DVDs and music CDs, but no Games, original or backup.

Please Help!

All I have is the New XBOX 360 and the Old DVD Drive - Can I fix my problem using a Slax CD and xtreme.bin thing or do I use Firmware Toolbox...which method can I use?
