Swapping An Old Flashed Drive Into A Newer 360?
« on: January 19, 2009, 02:12:00 AM »

Hey guys.

I just bought a new 360 (falcon i believe). I'm wanting to know if it's possible to just swap in my old flashed drive from my old 360?

Any risks etc. Any help would be appreciated.

yes.  BUT

you first need to get the new key.
reflash the FW onto the new drive and make sure to SPOOF the drive to be that of the older one.
THEN you can just replace the drive.

Sounds like I may as well just flash my new drive?

Btw, what does 'Spoof' mean?

"spoof" tells the system that the old drive is still in the 360 when in fact it is your new drive cloned to look like it.  

and yes you might as well flash your new drive lol
