The drive key is something that is used by the Xbox 360 so that your DVD drive in your console will not work in any other.  The "key" is a code of numbers that can be gotten easily, except for the latest BenQ, thats a pain to do.  Thats what it means when people here talk about "extracting the drive key and swapping out dvd drives".

That means the Globe 360 v2 will bypass the drive key check.  I assume that this means you can put any DVD drive in your xbox 360 and it will work (with the chip installed).  I have never used the Globe 360 or done any swapping of drives or extracting keys myself though, I just use the Xeno and NME chips.

Your welcome man, Ill go look for a link to the topic about region changing though.  Its here, I just dont remember exactly which forum.

Ok, well here is the excerpt from the topic (I found it on another site, but they quoted it from XS):

 As for landmarks and interweb fame. All I did towards this was to reverse the plaintext KV signature to figure out how to modify and resign the KV contents. And even this work was built on the efforts of other hackers. For example, I didn’t locate the region code in the KV and a lot of the SHA1 and RC4 encryption code was reversed and documented by others way before I started looking at it. *If* the region code tests are successful, then the following people contributed *much more* to this achievement than me.
    Takires, TheSpecialist, Robinsod, tmbinc.

    The following assumes you have the correct 1BL key and CPU key set in the flashtool.
    1. Dump the NAND from the US 360 (528-bytes-per-page)
    2. Open in the latest flashtool (v0. and click [extract]
    3. Edit extracted KV.bin and change 16-bits at offset 0xB8 from 0×00FF to 0×02FE
    4. Open in flashtool and click [patch], check the “patch keyvault” box and select the KV.bin modified in step 3
    5. Click [OK] and choose output file
    6. Flash output image back to the NAND of the US 360
    7. Try an EU game or two.
