Get Some Games On Xbox 360 Flash Drive 2012
After researching why I was unable to successfully play Halo 2 on my Xbox 360, I found numerous articles that have brought me to the conclusion that I bought a counterfeit hard drive off of eBay a couple years ago. (, )Sadly, it seems like I'm not going to be playing Halo 2 with this hard drive since it is missing the second partition that allows for reverse compatibility with original Xbox titles. According to the sources I've read, my only option is to get a new hard drive.While I really don't want to have to buy a new Xbox hard drive, would it be possible for me to play original Xbox titles using an?I saw one of this nifty 8GB storage flash drives, and I think that would work best for me if they work with the second partition that my Xbox seems to lack. It's the that I'm looking at.Hopefully I can get to play some original Xbox games with a flash drive! You CAN use a non-Microsoft hard drive. I had a non-Microsoft hard drive that was from EBay and it did not allow me to play Xbox originals. I was able to modify it to allow me to play originals.

Halo 2 is on the list for reverse compatible games, so a standard Xbox 360 with a Microsoft hard drive that hasn't been 'flashed' would be able to play the game fine. However, I have recently discovered that my hard drive that I purchased was indeed NOT a authentic hard drive and it was counterfeit, leaving me the only option to pay more money for a new hard drive. The flash drive is my attempt to lower the cost of a new storage medium while still getting the ability to play my favorite original Xbox titles.–May 23 '14 at 3:26.
You are missing the point here. To play Xbox (not Xbox 360) games on an Xbox 360, provided the game is at all supported, you need Xbox (again, not Xbox 360) software to be present on the console for the game to load. This software is located on a separate partition on official original Microsoft drives for the Xbox 360. A counterfeit drive does not have this partition, hence the console can't load the game. This has nothing to do with whether the game is supported or not, the console doesn't have the software needed to load it. A flash drive won't help either.–Sep 20 '14 at 17:06.
Kel, you do remember that'The Xbox 360 is designed so that the DVD drive works only with the particular game console it is installed in. Replacing a defective DVD drive with a replacement DVD drive does not work, since the replacement has a different DVD drive key, which the game console won't accept.' Problem is, you can not just change the drive. The drive has to be mated to the console with the right keycode. Check on and for more info on this. It is most likely that it does not work is because the drive is not mated.
I have the same problem. Just bought a brand new xbox 360 Toshiba/Samsung MS28 drive. Actual drive I removed. This drive plays Cd's and DVD's but it won't play the games. I hear a lot about these drive key's and they have to be uploaded by firmware in the actual drive. This is true and it sucks. You have to buy small equipment to do this at home.
Here is a link to see what's involved. I hope this will help you understand that this requires some effort. When your page loads, scroll down untill you see the pictures. THIS IS THE QUICKEST AND EASIEST SOLUTION AND MOST OF ALL IT ACTUALLY WORKS MUST READ!!!! Right first off the problem is when u put ur game in the xbox 360 its comes up as play DVD right?
So all you have to do is turn the xbox 360 upright so it turns from to / (the console) and then turn it on open the disk thingy and wait abou 10 sec then close it and wait for it to load but have to say it may take a whilw prob around 3 min hope this helped let me know wat u think just had to reply to this coz the other people are doing my headin with getting a new xbox and stuff this does work i tried it for myself hope this helps!;) xxx. Thank you Gemma for your ideas. I have gone through the trouble of connecting the 360 drive to my PC's sata board while using the xbox console for the power.
I have read and downloaded software from jungleflasher and ixtreme firmware to flash this drive. I was unsuccessful in disabling raid in BIOS mode. It gave me the option but never disabled. When I saw your post about swapping the drives internal board, I thought what a great idea. It took five minutes to switch the board.
I did not put the the console together until it was tested. It worked and I can play 360 games again. Until your idea I was working on this flashing thing for three weeks.
Thanks again.by. Inside the DVD drive is a mother board that controls the unit and has the firmware installed. If you buy a brand new DVD drive for your Xbox 360, it will not work until you flash the drive to match the drive key.
A way around this is to remove the original drive that has problems. Then take it apart and remove the mother board (green computer board). After you have the original mother board removed, do the same thing to the brand new drive.
Be careful not to mix them up because they will be exactly the same. Install the original mother board (green board) into the brand new drive and connect all plug ports.
The original mother board has the firmware installed and the drive key has already been matched by the manufacturer. Then reassemble the drive and the Xbox. The new drive should work perfectly as the old one use to. Thats what I did and it worked great. It's been 2 years since. This worked for the Toshiba/Samsung TS-H943 drive.

Good luck.by. Hi Dereck yes you have to find the exact DVD drive as the original that came with your Xbox 360.

Match all the numbers on the DVD case. I purchased my replacement DVD drive on ebay for $29.00 brand new.
Open the metal casing and unplug the ribbon cables that are connected to the inner motherboard of the DVD player. Then swap the inner mother board from the original DVD player and connect it to the new DVD player. Then put the metal casing back on. The original inner motherboard from the DVD player is already married to the Xbox 360. It should work as new. If it doesn't work your inner motherboard may be corrupted.

This has worked for me. I tried to flash the drive first with the SATA cable on my PC and it took me 3 weeks learning as I go. Swapping DVD motherboards is the fastest and easiest way I have experienced. Remember they must be exactly the same. I think the other ones like Ben Q needs soldering.
