Alright here is my problem, I am never able to boot up my PC with my Xbox 360 DVD drive plugged in my SATA port. I tried plugging in the DVD drive to two computers, both froze while loading Windows.
I have my Xbox 360 DVD drive flashed with xtremes 4.1A firmware. Im pretty sure I have it right as it flashed properly (no errors), and when I tried to flash it again (just to test the firmguard, without using the 0800 DVD), it didn't work so I assumed its flashed right.
My Xbox 360's DVD drive is a TS-H943. My computers motherboard is the Asus K8V-MX, which is practically just the same thing has the K8V-SE Deluxe. If this matters I'm using an ATI video card (Radeon x850 XT). The second computer I tried booting up with the DVD drive plugged in was the Asrock 775Dual-880Pro motherboard, also with an ATI video card. Both computers use Windows XP Pro. I usually first make sure everything is plugged in right, then I turn on the Xbox 360 first, wait a few seconds, then I turn on my computer.
So here are my questions:
1) Am I doing something wrong while trying to boot up Windows with the Xbox 360 DVD drive plugged in? I made sure the SATA ports were enabled on both computers and tried both RAID and IDE modes. For RAID it froze during the SATA drive detection, for IDE it froze on the Windows load screen.
2) Not really related to my previous problem, but would an Aopen DUW1616-ARR DVD burner work for burning Xbox 360 DVDs?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that after I flashed my TS-H943 it still plays normal games fine, I just don't have any backups yet. Also I used version A of the firmware and I noticed my DVD drive running games alot louder so that makes me think its working fine also.
