quick question, maybe

[exuun]

Sorry if this post is completely noob.

This post is going to be revolving around the drive spoofing tutorial that sadalius posted.

Problems that has occurred

- Drive magnet came off and started making horrid grinding noise, so I glued it back where it should be but the 'unplayable disc' errors still occur frequently (although I can play games now, after a little struggle) and the drive still makes that horrible grinding noise when the laser is reading the inner part of the disc.

Here comes the question that will help me execute sadalius' tutorial... How do I get a 'dump' from a dvd drive? I tried using the forum search in the case this question and solution was already posted, but the search engine kept telling me my search was too broad no matter what keywords I tried. So, I apologize if this has been asked before in another thread.

[edit] By the way, I am not sure if this matters but my 360 was shipped with the hitachi gdr-3120L rom ver. 0059dj. The possible replacement is going to be something cheap for now, possibly a $20-$40 replacement from Walmart.[/edit]

If I understand you right, you want to replace you 360 hitachi drive with a cheap, over the counter drive? If that's what you are asking than that's not possible. To spoof it you will still need either a benq,samsung or hitachi drive that was made for the 360. All of these are possible to spoof except the Hit. v79 as far as I know.
