Hi Guys

I'm having trouble reading the slim DVD Key of my 0272 firmware, I have a Intel ICH8  a card and it's read all my phat drives no prob but when I get to the stage in the JF guide where I use sim unlock, say no and then have to power cycle the drive to get it into unlock mode so I can read the key but no luck it just times out!!

I'm guessing that the problem is my sata card and most people just say bite the bullet and buy a xbox360usbpro card but these are £40!!!!

Are there any other options to me ? Can I try dosbox or any other tool that might enquire my sata card in a different way so I can read the key

Is there just the JF way or are there other methods I can try before having to spend the extra cash ??

Many thanks

you could try this but to be honest much easier with the usbpro. http://m.youtube.com...U...UOx4U&gl=GB

Any idea where to buy that I can't find any info on it or even where to buy it ?

Are there any other dos based tools that might work for unlocking the drive ?

loads of them for sale on the ebay, just search for usb 2 sata convertor. And no there are no other methods that can be used and even this doesnt work for everyone.

Awesome thanks mate thought I needed that exact model, I had one of these USB - SATA convertors laying around, worked a treat and drive went into Vendor mode no probs AWESOME!!  Something I hate about giving my cash to TX their prices are just too high!!! I'd buy there stuff if it was reasonably priced but £49 for a XBOX360 USBPRO is just to high...now I have my DVD key I feel much happier carrying out the kamakazi mod

Cheers guys
