I am having a hard time sourcing information for the following questions, and I am sure some people would like them answered to so I figurd I would put them all in one thread, hopefully I can get some info from everyone.
1) Are there any available tutorials on flashing Xbox drives, and where we can access them. Im not asking for the firmware itself as I know it is a link which cannot be posted. I am just curious in the different tuts available.
2) I have heard MS is banning serial #s with flashed firmware from LIVE. Is this just a random thing, or does it seem like everyone with a flashed drive is being affectd by this. Also, does it just stop your Xbox 360 from just being play online? Or does it destroy it totally.
3) If you flash a drive, and it does not work, or say your xbox becomes faulty and you want to send it in for repair. In order to make sure MS does not know it was flashed (other then the sticker being broken) Can you re-flash the drive back to original firmware.
So if the flash fails can it be reflashed to either original settings or to new firmware again.

And where exactly did you hear that MS is banning people with flashed firmware? I've never heard of any real cases of this happening.

I have read this on a few posts, but I am trying to figure out if it is indeed true and if it has happened to anyone at all.

You might be referring to the article where some guy said he couldn't connect and that the Xbox Support told him that he was banned because he had a modded 360 and that it had been detected through it's MAC address.
But later on in that article, the writer states that it sounds like utter crap.
I thought Microsoft would be more worried about banning the chips rather than the firmware anyway. I mean, someone will probably just release another firmware update to counter it; it's harder to get a new chip.

I can tell you with 99.99% confidence no one has been banned with hacked firmware.

Even if they did ban you, can you just save your gamer profile to a memory card, buy a new 360, and put it on that?

Couple more questions.
Are most xbox games in need of dual layer disks? And can you play backups on LIVE? Such as GOW

All 360 games are dual layers, and yeah, a backup of Gears does work apparently. With some of the firmwares, it seems it won't let you play the original though, which is weird.
