    Does anyone know what drives new Xbox 360 elites come with so I can start getting all the bits i need to flash it.

    I know you need a sata card + cable, the xbox 'repair' kit to open it and some software to flahs it.

    Ive done PSP's and iphones so this shouldnt be a problem. I have a PS3 for online and im thinking of getting an xbox in 2 weeks. I know there's Hitachi drives, LG and philips i think but if someone could point me in the rite direction before i get it, means I could get it done as soon as I have the console

    I can almost guarantee it will be a Liteon 7, 8, or 9x series.

    PSP's and Iphones aren't even close. You will need to cut traces and do some soldering. I would suggest searching.

    You don't need the Opening kit as a small screwdriver will do. You may not even need the Via SATA card, as some onboards are compatible. Take a look at the Jungle Flasher PDF (google it), it will tell you all you need to know.

    OK if found out that lite-on is probably the one for me as it is what came up on xbox drive check.

    Can the latest lite-ons be flashed as I am confused. Some people say that it cannot be flashed.

    Im willing to buy another drive for it like a sammy ms28 drive for £15 and put that into it.

    Im gonna need a via card as my mobo has issues with the sata channels at the moment.

    While searching I came across the Xdrive from team xecuter. Is this a viable way of getting round the ban hammer by only using the flashed drive offline or is that just wishful thinking?

    If I bought an Xbox today and it came with a 9x Liteon drive then whats the best or easiest/cheapest method of hacking it. Im a little confused with flashing but doing psp's from day 1 and iphones as well IM pretty sure I'll be able to manage it!

    Yes they can be flashed, it's the Lite-on 93450. I did 3 already with succes and no trouble. :) Just search on google. But if you don't have any experian's it is not smart to do it by your self.

    Regards,

    Brooy.
