Now I have moolah, I'm going to replace my diabolical, evil DVD Xbox drive.

Q - Is it easy to mod Samsung DVD drives. I mean, is it worth it rather than buying a straight-swap Xbox drive?

Woot!

Works absoloutely perfectly.

Well, I've got a brand spanking new Crystal Xbox, so I've got nothing to worry about :P

Okay cheers Damarus I'll check.

This particular mod is annoying me for sure. Why the hell did they stick such crappy DVD drives in anyway?!

My xbox has been having probs reading some games at the mo.
Is my xbox drive on its way out? Is that why you are putting
new ones in? My warranty has run out so thats not a problem, is
it hard to do? Has anyone gone mad moding there xbox? If yes what did
you do and what was the effect?

Is the IDE properly secured to the motherboard. I've had problems with cd drives on my PC because it wasn't pushed in enough.

I'm thinking maybe - he said it was from a new Crystal Xbox. If I can't make head nor tails of it by Monday I'll sue his ass.
