Hello all,

I am writing this after reading all the tutorials I could find on this site and others. I finally bought an XBOX 360 Arcade System today and was wondering what I need to play my huge collection of backed up games.

The manufacture date of my console is 2008-07-01 and my first issue was figuring out what kind of DVD drive I have. I thought it was a Thompson but then doubted that as my console was manufactured quite recently so it must be a Lite-On.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I have to do to the console to play burned games? I know how to burn ISO's, I just need to know what I have to do to the console to play these games.

Thanks.

well if you have a lite-on, you're most likely out of luck. Unless you get someone to do a drive swap for you with another 360 dvd drive.

Is there any way for me to be sure exactly what type of drive I have?

If that doesn't help then open the 360.
