The Xbox 360 is designed so only the DVD drive that it ships with works in the game console. You can replace a defective DVD drive yourself with another DVD drive from a computer or electronics store, but to get it to work it must be “flashed” with specific Xbox 360 information. The process requires opening up the Xbox 360 and uses software created by other Xbox 360 users that runs on a PC. The procedure for flashing the replacement DVD drive is straightforward but time-consuming.
Opening the Xbox 360
Put a bath towel down on a table.
Remove all of the cables from the Xbox 360.
Place the Xbox 360 on the bath towel with the hard drive compartment facing up.
Squeeze the upper left side of the faceplate with your left hand. Pull up on the USB door at the lower right side with your right hand. Remove the faceplate.
Put the Xbox 360 down on the bath towel horizontally, with the power button facing you. Insert the flat-edged screwdriver into the top left ventilation hole on the Xbox 360’s right side. Wiggle the tip of the flat-edged screwdriver to release the plastic tab on the inside.
Move the flat-edged screwdriver over to a ventilation hole in the middle and repeat the process to release a plastic tab inside. Move the flat-edged screwdriver to a ventilation hole at the top right and repeat the process to release a plastic tab inside. Repeat this process with the plastic tabs and the tip of the flat-edged screwdriver on the left side of the Xbox 360.
Turn the Xbox 360 face down on the bath towel. Lift up on the bottom shelf. Remove the 14 screws that are now exposed using the Torx screwdriver. Turn the Xbox 360 right side up and place it on the bath towel with the power button facing you.
Lift off the outer case of the Xbox 360 using your hands. Remove the screws from the back panel with the Torx screwdriver.
Pull the plastic inserts on each side of the Xbox 360 up and off. Pull the back panel up and off.
Remove the screws from around the DVD drive inside of the Xbox 360 with the Phillips jeweler's screwdriver. Derana dream star theme song free download. Lift the DVD drive up. Remove the optical drive cable and the power plug cable from the back of the DVD drive with your fingers. Discard the DVD drive.
Put the replacement DVD drive into the Xbox 360. Attach the power plug to the power plug connector on the back of the DVD drive. Attach the screws around the DVD drive with the Phillips jeweler's screwdriver

General :: Installing Java In Slax?
May 21, 2010
I decided to finally give it a try last night and made a Live USB for Slax. It booted up quickly, pretty much everything worked right away, and after getting the Wifi working I decided to call it a night. My project for today was attempting to install Java, but I haven't had much success. There are modules on the Slax site for this, but a. they are unverified and b. I want to delve into linux further than just downloading everything off a website. I downloaded the latest Java package for linux, which was a self-extracting .bin. I followed steps 1 through 4 here, but step 5 didn't work. I got the error message Quote: Extracting.. UnZipSFX 5.50 of 17 February 2002, by Info-ZIP ([email protected]). inflating: jre-6u20-linux-i586.rpm error: db4 error(2) from dbenv->open: No such file or directory error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm I then tried using the rpm -UvH command on the rpm file, but got the same error. Knowing that Slax modules are .lzm files, I used rpm2tgz and tgz2lzm to convert it to a module, but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction, other than 'Download this unverified module from the Slax site.' In addition, a problem I haven't encountered yet but is foreseeable: In those instructions that I linked above for downloading and installing Java, the 'Enable and Configure' section requires altering parts of the Firefox install directory. However, since this is Slax, Firefox is in a module. To do that part, do I have to use lzm2dir in order to get into Firefox's innerworkings, or what?

General :: Slax ZenRemix V5 - HD Install With KDE
Apr 19, 2010
So, I was playing with Fathom's new Slax Remix with Zen kernel 2.6.33 and decided to try a manual install to hdd and see if it would boot. [URL]. New slax remix is here: [URL]I surprised when after doing the install I ended up with a beautiful and fully functional KDE desktop all in 860MB of space! Although many things will break if upgrading, etc. I was impressed that with KDE running it was only using about 140MB ram! incl cache, etc. And, fluxbox is included too as well as pkgtool, and xwmconfig. The complete How-To I did is in the slax remix thread at above link, and also here [URL]. Hints: After installing to hdd, usb-hdd, etc. Grab slackpkg and the gnupg stuff and install any other pkgs. Be careful about upgrading.. I added kdeadmin pkg from slax module and some other stuff so my install is at 944MB now and look at output of 'free' in screenshot.

General :: Dvd Rom Drive Won't Mount Under FC14 After Installing From Dvdrom Drive?
Jun 12, 2011
no entries exist in the /dev folder for hdc,cdrom,dvd, or any other drive or drive type than hda. The only other similar device is sg0 which doesn't work either. I have tried every variation of mount I can find with every available drive and drive type and nothing works, but this is the drive I installed FC14 with, and it installed perfectly (except for forgetting where it came from!!)Do I have to install a module or recompile the kernel just to get linux to recognize the drive it came from?

General :: USB Host Controller Device Driver Needed For Slax Live CD
Jan 1, 2011
For years I have used a Slax live CD on a laptop to clone internal HDDs to USB HDDs. I recently purchased a Sony VPCF136FM laptop with Intel Core i7 CPU. It apparently has USB 3.0 ports. The problem is the USB ports are dead with Slax. There is a USB devise driver available for Windows 7 from Sony but nothing for Linux operating systems. Can this driver be ported to Linux? It is an exacutable (XXX.exe). The chip for the USB Host is from Renesas Electronics (no help there, either). Where can I find a device driver to use with Slax and how would I install it?
General :: Installing To Another Drive?
May 8, 2010
I had previously partitioned my harddrive and installed Linux on one part of it. I had a few problems and didn't like the way Grub stayed when I removed Linux. Here's what I have now: I reformatted and have Windoh's XP on C drive with 70GB. I made a D drive with 70 GB.I want to install Linux on the D drive (I think..unless I shouldn't do that.) How will I access Linux if I do this? Will my computer boot into Windoh's by default as usual? Will I double-click on 'My Computer' then choose The D drive with Linux installed on it? I don't want to have to go through removing the Grub thing as I had to do last time I removed Linux.My ideal thing would be to be able to double-click on D drive and run Linux without having re-start problems with my computer.I'm sorry if this makes no sense. I don't really know how to explain it.

General :: Installing Ubuntu From A Virtual Drive?
Jul 24, 2011
I am attempting to install Ubuntu on my girlfriends laptop, She is pretty much fed up with windows, and has been seeing me rub linux in her face (Compiz helps haha). The major problem for me is she does not have a CD/DVD drive, Nor do we have USB drives. Daemon tools will let me boot a virtual drive at boot (in theory according to their forum) so this will be my choosen method. The concerns/questions I have are these: 1) If I install from a virtual drive, Will the Ubuntu partition list that as a device and try to load from it? (When I am done, I am deleting windows and thus the drive) will that cause any major issues? 2)MS Will have to stay on the drive for awhile, I plan on shrinking it down as far as possible (Most likly with gparted) then formatting it as EXT and extending Ubuntu to occupy the whole space, Can gparted do that? (I've only used it with Linux, Never tried with MS) 3) Is there anything I should do PRIOR to installing Ubuntu, other then backing up files?
General :: Installing Lilo Item When Drive Is Not Present
Oct 30, 2010
I have to computers: 'A' (linux) and 'B' (windos). On 'A' I have a linux system that i copy over to a movable disk on which i install the lilo bootloader. Now when I move the disk to 'B' I am able to boot into the new linux system, however I would like to have an item in the lilo boot menu from which I can boot the windows system on 'B' also. And now the tricky part: I would like to create this item when the disk is still on 'A' where windows is not present. I have tried using 'disk = /dev/hda1 inaccessible' without any luck.Is it possible to 'cheat' lilo into adding an item pointing to a disk that is not present on your system ?

General :: Installing Windows 7 Onto A New Drive On An Ubuntu Machine?
Sep 20, 2009
I want to install Windows 7 on a separate drive on my PC that already has Ubuntu. I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how best to go about this? I was going to install a new empty drive, removing the current one, then put the current drive back once Windows had been installed. However, I'm not entirely sure if this will work, since Linux currently runs from the first drive: Will it be confused by making its drive the second drive (these will both be SATA drives, BTW), and how would I get Linux to run? Could I change which drive to boot from in the BIOS, or would replacing the MBR to provide a boot loader menu be easier?

Dec 23, 2010
I currently have a HP Server DL580, with a cd rom drive I don't have an an external dvd drive. I don't have a scusi dvd drive I don't have a pci card for ide or sata connections I have fedora core 14 installed on it (although so far have failed to get the internet to work on the server - but that is a separate issue and probably not worth fixing if I am going to change OS)I have downloaded the dvd, copied the iso to fedora - using a USB pen Mounted the dvd within fedora - but it seems it needs to run on boot I've tried installing the dvd onto a pen drive (ie bootable) - which works on my pc - but the server doesn't seem to like the idea of booting from USB. I can get Redhat 6 enterprise server on cd. But it there is a simple work around I'd be greatful too. I am regretably a complete rooky so please make any instructions very simple. I know you are thinking why is a complete rooky trying to install a redhat server - the only answer to that is - why not - gotta learn sometime. I got the dvd iso from: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel..00000000000000 I can't find any cd iso files

General :: Installing Debian On External (connected Through USB) Hard Drive?
Apr 23, 2011
I've got Vista installed on my notebook and I've bought an external drive (1,5 TB, but its size shouldn't matter in this case) and after formatting it I left 10 gigs for future purpose. Now, I decided to install 64bit debian on the unallocated 10 gigs. And so I did. To be precise: I have SATA drive inside my lap and hard drive (it's also SATA inside the cover) connected to my lap through USB. Boot sequence was 1)CD/DVD 2)hard drive 3)removable drive. During the installation the installer detected my internal drive as /dev/sda and my external drive as /dev/sdb. I decided to install grub on /dev/sdb (it was logical to me, since I didn't want to mess up my regular drive's MBR). Installer created 5 partitions on my USB drive. After booting from my external drive (look below*) I've got a message saying Code: error: no such partition Entering rescue mode.. and after that I was in grub rescue console. When I typed ls I've got an output Code: (hd0) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos5) (hd1,msdos2) (hd1,msdos1) When I tried to type Code: ls (hd0)/ I only got a message Code: error: unknown filesystem This occured for all the listed devices.. On my internal drive there were (during the installation and running the live cd) 3 partitions detected (vista os, data, rescue disk) so I don't understand the output that ls in rescue console gave me. about booting from external drive: I did that after pressing ESC - I've got a prompt to choose which device I want to boot from - this wasn't working properly; after changing the boot sequence the grub started but with the abovementioned error message.. If there's any info about exact names/types/devices of my installed partitions needed I will run live CD and check it. If any other info is required I will provide it (I tried to describe the problem in the most precise way ) What I was thinking about: maybe there is a problem with ordering of the devices - when I boot from DVD my removable disk is treated as the 'second one' and after booting from the removable disk it becames the 'first one' or something like that? If any of you have any good info on how mapping of the device names works it would be appreciated, since I couldn't find anything useful or I just don't know what to ask google about. 1) How to install Debian on a removable disk (I had no problems with installing Linux on pendrive but I did that from VirtualBox and it was some time ago) OR how to install GRUB on a removable disk? (unfortunately, I cannot install 64bit system through VirtualBox) 2) What's the logic behind naming devices under /dev? How come the devices in grub have their names mapped as hdx etc and I've read that hdx are the names for IDE/ATA drives and sdx is the proper name for a SATA or USB device
