Hey guys. I recently was GIVIN an xbox 360 elite. The problem is...
There is no DVD drive! :)

I understand these drives a bit, and my concern is the drive key that the mother board looks for. Am I right in assuming unless I know the drive key of the OLD drive, I will not be able to buy a replacement for this elite?

Is there any way I can purchase a drive for this machine, and make it work?

Thanks in advance one way or another!

There is a way, but its very complicated and from what ive read envoles hacking the xbox with the JTAG hack.

+1 for what manu07 says, you kind screwed.

the way to get the key off the board is very complicated. and is only for people with very advanced skills in this area. besides that you need to have the right equipment even to do it. its not worth it just buy another box its cheaper.

Yeah, you are double fucked if you have updated to the last three dashes (twitter/facebook one, WPA2 one or the one launched in july.

Either use it as a DVD player or stash it in the loft till someone figures out a way to hack it.
