I used a USB to SATA bridge adapter (As mentioned in the Jungle Flasher PDF Tutorial) to flash my Hitachi (V79) drive. I think I bought one for $5 shipped on eBay, took almost two weeks as it came from China.

You NEED the original key in order to install the new drive to the console. What are you trying to do exactly?

i picked up a xbox 360 that was flashed, i just assumed it was the latest version, but i am not sure , i now think it a older version since all the burnt games that came with are from 07 cod4 for example

so now i am just wondering if i can upgraded it to new firmware?

Oh, ok. Yeah, you should be able to accomplish everything you need to do with that USB to SATA adapter. Can you post a link as to which one you are trying to buy.

I have the PCI card and the USB to SATA adapter. The PCI card did come with drivers and a cable, but I didn't install the drivers for the card.
