Well, i got my xbox open and now I'm looking for some guides on how to flash it. It is a Lighton drive, and i really don't know what to do.

Do i have to buy anything to flash it? Or could i just use my computer? Not too sure about this stuff. Could anyone link me to a good guide too.

Also, my motherboard is a Foxconn A79A-s
Thanks

You can use the Jungle Flasher tutorial or I have a walk-through linked in my signature for a Stock Lite-ON. You are going to need a compatible SATA chipset and some additional hardware (Key-Reader). You must dump the DVDkey of the Lite-On with the key reader. You can make your own (bhetrick has a guide in the Ultimate Sticky) or you can purchase the Maximus Xtractor PRO with spear or the CK3 Lite/Pro with probe.

It might be, only way to know is to try it out and see if Jungle Flasher recognizes the drive (PortIO is required). Lite-ONs are recognized as PLDS DG-16D2S. If it doesn't work, you will need the VIA PCI SATA card with the 6421 chipset.

You also need to find out what firmware revision your Lite-ON is. On the top of the drive, in the lower right hand of the sticker, is the firmware revision.

Yes. That card will work.
But because you have a Lite-On, you also need this or this or this, in order to extract the Lite-On's key.
