The only way this will work is if the dvd key from the drive that originally went with that mobo was supplied with the board, which is not likely.


Llamma's do.

You are going to have to desolder the eeprom off the original drive mobo.  Then hopefully connect it to an external programmer and read the FW off the original.

Hopefully you can extract your key into a modified FW for your new drive.

You are shit outta luck if you cannot extract your key from your original drive.
