Ok, I'm new to this swapping thing, but I have a question. I have two hitachi/lg drives, one is the original, one is from a dead system. the only difference was the s/n and rom number, I swapped them directly, and the system booted Put in game game and it said to put in a 360 console, put in dvd, played no problems.
Here's the question, when do the drive keys come into play. I thought the system would not boot if the wrong drive was in it? Is it only when you try to play a game or does live ban you. Don't care about live myself but just curious?
Thanks for the info.

The Xbox 360 will boot and play DVD's without the correct drive key on a DVD drive, but if you want to play games you have to have a matching console and drive key. So unless you have the key off your old drive I would say your out of luck.
I'm not sure if they will ban you if you try to play a game with the wrong key and are connected to live. I would guess they log that it has the incorrect drive key though _________________________________________________________ 360-HQ Toolbar | 360-hq Digg news | 360-HQ Active Topics | 360-HQ Boxxet Page | My Setup
