No offence but how are you a senior member if you don't know basic DOS commands?
Anyway from what I've found... basically there's a USB firmware upgrade...
Which lets you iXtreme your drive without opening it.
You could open it if you want or you could get a USB to SATA converter adapter...
Then run the Flash off the pen drive.. Voila..
Thats what my friend (who owns an Xbox Modding shop in London) told me. I've researched and found the software myself, just not the latest version for my drive... so I'm still looking...
Reminder: don't use google, use the "usual place" like the Bay and stuff
It was sarcasm, friend.
I stand by my first statement. Your friend is lying. I know my stuff when it comes to modding. Chances are whatever this software is you are talking about just preps a USB stick for you with the required files.
