Hi,
Im a total noob to this, didn't know where to post if I posted in the wrong forum sorry but I really don't know what to do anymore.

I'd just like to know what I have to do to my Xbox to play backups
I've looked at the tutorials and asked people and they all say different things, like this is a BenQ drive,Toshiba, etc and that I only need a firmware not a chip some say I need a chip, really confused now.

This is my Xbox:

MY XBOX

could someone please tell me what drive i have and what do i need a firmware or a chip

i dunno if this matters but its a xbox 360 arcade, and has hdmi.and its PAL, dunno if u can play ntsc backups on a pal console

thanks so much.

its a benq drive, a quick 2 second google search would have told you that. you need a via 6421 PCI sata card to flash it unless you have a compatible chipset on your motherboard. and once you flash the drive, you still cannot play games from other regions unless those games are region free.

nforce4 chipset or 6421 chipset works with flashing a benq. I bet others work too, but I can't say for sure.

If you don't have onboard sata...get a via 6421 sata card. if you do have onboard sata ports, I say give it a go...it will probably work if you understand what you are doing.

Edit: you want the ixtreme 1.4.1 for the benq.
