The BenQ can be flashed. The LiteOn may take a few years before it can be hacked.

ok thanks but can some one please answer the first qestion.
Thanks!
Answer what first question? You said you has a LiteOn. There is no need to answer anything about going on to Live since you wont be able to flash the drive anyway.

I didn't know they were making 360's with Lite-On drives now. However you can flash a Lite-On DVD burner drive with firmware. But thats just updated firmware to aid in 360 iso burning, not hacked firmware to play. For that get a Toshiba-Samsung or a Hitachi.
That post does nothing for him. He is not asking about a PC drive. And he can never replace his LiteOn with any other drive since he will never be able to get the drive key. If you dont know about this new un hackable drive look here.

Luckily since you cant read or white to the flash he is not likely to brick it. But he can spend a few year trying.

How does my post not help him? I told him Lite-On drives are used for burning and for playing backups get a TS or Hitachi which are hackable. How is that not advice? I can't help if you didn't like the advice I gave him thats a personal thing.
You can not replace LiteOn drives, since you can't extract the drive key.

And since we now know he does not have a LiteOn drive it comes down to him being worried about Live.

Obviously you are not aware of the new Xbox 360 drive made by LiteOn. This drive has a write-only firmware chip and the drive key cannot be extracted from it. It can, however be written to. So, theoretically at least, it can be hacked. But without the original key, this isn't much good.
The drives you refer to are pc drives

If the chip is write only then how does the drive even run if it cannot read instructions from the firmware?
The chip can still be read just probably not from the drive. You would probably have to remove the chip and either use a programmer/reader or build your own device (there are plenty of schematics out there) to dump/flash the chip. It may be way more difficult but I garuntee you you can still get the firmware if you really weanted to.

Oh yeah I forgot about extracting the key. So I guess a new drive wouldn't help after all!

i assume he meant read-only.
i can garuntee you that you CANT get the firmware out of it. the firmware is instructed/designed to never leave the TSOP and actually does not have the correct pins for the firmware to leave it so its physically impossible. please keep this talk in the thread mentioned above
