ok I am brand new to this and I have ecountered a common problem, the old disk drive quit. Replaced it with a new one and now it does not play games. It gives me that same Xbox 360 message. I need detailed step by step information. Like how to get this old bin or key or what ever it is from the old disk drive and how do I change the new disk drive bin to the old one. Oh and no swaping out the boards between the two drives did not work, the old board still did not respond to the open and close command.

you need to read one of the many tutorials on this forum in the stickys in regards to flashing. after you read it you simply need to know this: get the orignal key off of the old drive and put it on the new drive with the hacked fw. please note you now have a modded console that will be able to play backups and you run a risk of getting banned from XBL. also, if you swapped the same cd-rom and the same (i mean orig.) mobo. it should've worked. but then again there would be no reason to switch it as that would mean you alreay have another working box.
