I was wondering if it would be possible to buy an xbox 360 with a faulty drive then replace it and flash the new drive or would I need the original key.

Without the key from the original DVD drive the xbox 360 is just a arcade machine. If you loose the key from the original DVD drive you are screwed and will never be able to play games from the DVD drive again.

It is possible unless the drive was fried. If the drive won't eject then manually eject push it in half way and try it. Good luck M8 (I've always wanted to type it LOL)
