Hi, can you just answer this probably very quick Q
is it possible to simply just flash the firmware of a 360 DVD Drive \ hard disk (or both) to enable backup copies to be played, or is it definitely more involved that that and some new hardware required?
Thanks

if its a liteon DVD drive inside the xbox 360 then yes you will need hardware to extract the key and other information from the drive before you flash it.

if its not a liteon you might be able to extract the information without any additional hardware...

flashing the hard drive is not related to playing backup game copies

umm yea...only about 1000000000000000000000000 of them, and since you said you were being lazy, dont expect to get anymore help from people, do yourself a favor and start doing a little bit of your own research.

Yes thanks, enough of the sarcastic comments now - unless you've got a few more CLASSIC lines to prove you are much more superior than i am.
