Swapping Hitachi Keys
« on: February 12, 2008, 05:04:00 PM »

Hello there,

Sorry if this is a bit of a newb question but ive been searching everywhere and i cannot find anything on swapping dvd keys around, only upgrading fw.

My problem is, i have two 360's, both hitachi drives but one is no longer working and the other xbox yeilds an E74. Is there a tutorial out there that will tell me how i can extract the key off one drive and swap it into another.

I could do with alot of detail here as ive not really much experiance, could do with names of programs to use and such.

Thanks,
-Polat

The software you need is firmwaretoolbox, the latest version is 4.6, grab it from Xbins.
What firmware versions are the 2 hitachi drives? If they are v78 or higher they will need to be able to read a disc in order to dump the firmware.

The firmware is listed on the white sticker on top of the drive.
