As long as you have a good copy of the key, you can save the drive. And iPrep will be the easiest way to do it, IF you remember which port you were connected to when tried to flash it the first time.

this sounds like you plugged in the power sata upside down, if thats the case then I don't think you have any recourse with this drive.

when you put this drive back in the 360
it want do anything
even with a bad firmware in it it should open and play dvd movies

if it want the shootsteel is right
it sounds like game over for that drive
and if you dont have the key from it the its game over for the console also.
sorry

Then you probably plugged the power cable in upside down, when you had your drive hooked up inside the drive. the 3 red rings will show up instantly if you do that.
