hello

I tried to search for this but I haven't found any topics related.

I have a lite-on drive flashed with 1.6 fw and I have a few questions about reflashing(when 1.61 is out):

1) There are some rumors that say that if you power the drive with the xbox itslef, a notice will be logged and there's a chance of getting banned. is this true?

2) if I have the original dummy,key... files can I use them or is it better to extract from the drive?

3) to extract from a flashed drive, I just need to power the drive and connect the sata cable, right? I dont need a probe or a ck3 and to connect the serial/usb connection?

moved your post to the right area.

i never use the console to power the dvd drive
get a ck3 of some kind to power the drive.

most of the time
i have had to use a probe and do it the long way on a 74 liteon a few times

so a ck3 lite is enough, right?

yeah if you have a COM port on your pc. i always dump a drive a couple of times to ensure the keys match. if you're reflashing you can redump or use your original dummy.bin.

in case the dummy from iExtreme dont work, its safe to use the old one right?

sorry for my noobiness, i just want to be sure
