right heres the problem,
i was trying to flash my 3rd xbox but this time it was a lite on 8 series
i tried to read the drive by using the l083info tab but when it got to the
pull your drive all the way out it wouldnt work...
i tried everything to get it to work among other things to get the dummy.bin and dvd key
after 2 days of trying i thaught what the hell and flashed it.....it turned out to be a bad flash and bricked up my drive
then after alot of screaming and shouting i managed to get the drive to an open state
and tried to dump the iextreme anyway but no luck at all i tried erasing the drive again but nothing same with reading and writing too

from what i can tell i can get the drive to work again but i need the dvd key and the fw

is there anyway to retrive these?

many thanks.
