Use DSEO to sign portio64.sys. You only have to do this once.
Then start JungleFlasher.
When you're done, turn off Test Mode (by running the same command as above except put OFF instead of ON). Reboot.
Of course there are other ways to run drivers that are not digitally signed (press F8 at boot, and select the option to disable driver signing enforcement) but those didn't work for me while Test Mode does.
Oh, be sure to read the jungleflasher tutorial. And dump your original firmware several times before you even contemplate erasing.
That works, but it wasn't the problem I was having. The whole procedure was working perfectly for me with JF, reading, erasing, spoofing (replacement drive), & flashing - all without errors. The drive once back in the 360 however, wouldn't run a game. Just kept saying opn tray. Gave up on JF after AGES of messing around, tried DosFlasher - worked first time

ok looks like i need to pick up a sata cable.. what about doing it on a laptop? my win7 machine is a laptop but i also have a desktop..
will i lose xbox live ya? bye the way thanks for all the help..
Best of luck on a laptop - you need an SATA controller you can plug stuff into, and it has to be supported. Most laptops don't come with this stuff.
Flash with your desktop. If your SATA controller on your desktop's motherboard isn't supported then purchase a VIA 6421 PCI expansion card as that'll definitely work. Do not install any drivers for that VIA card either, if they get auto-installed like on Vista/Win7 then use Device Manager to uninstall the drivers.
@cisk: The F8->Disable Driver Signing Enforcement used to work for me. But for some reason Windows throws a fit now, so I just use the Test Method
@Wez: A flag is set in secdata.bin when you power a console without a drive. However, Microsoft most likely do not ban you just for that. They probably use it as an indicator though to check further, and run whatever checks they ran last November when they pwned people with the banhammer.0 -

Ok thanks for that.. looks like i need to get a sata cable, the pci card, and the xbox360 connection kit.. where can i get the connection kit cant seem to find it on ebay..
The SATA cable and VIA 6421 PCI card can be had on ebay/dealextreme for next to nothing.
The most common connection kit is the Xecutor CK3 Pro with CK3 Probe v2, which works on all drives. I'd hold out for a little while on purchasing the gear though, because the Probe v2 may not dump the 'Slim' drive and there might be a Probe v3, I don't know. http://www.ck3.co.uk is one site, there are others out there that sell it too.
Please bear in mind that the CK3 needs to be powered with a Molex 4-pin power plug, so make sure your computer's powersupply has one spare. They look like this:

ok the reason i thought i needed the ck3 was to power the drive without leaving a marker for microsoft and losing xbox live.. so do you still think i dont need it?
I'll be perfectly honest, if you want to keep xbox live then you shouldn't crack your firmware. You shouldn't play backups online at all. If you do then you're always running the risk of a banning. Last year people reported that even though they used the CK3 or another method to power the drive for flashing they still got banned. The powering-on-console-without-dvd-drive flag is only an indicator that something is amiss - Microsoft utilise other checks, over a period of time, to verify that you have indeed modified the console.
If you ask me, it makes no difference which way you power the drive for flashing. If you flash your drive it won't be the way you powered it on that'll give up the ghost, it's the firmware itself

Thanks thats the explanation i needed..
ok so after flashing the benq drive using just the sata cable and the sata card i buy.. whats the next step.. i suppose 1st thing to do would be remove the wireless xbox adapter.. do i still need to sign into my profile and stuff? sorry for all the questions.. and thanks for all your help!!0 -

I'm not 100%, but I think in Ireland it MAY still be illegal to backup your own movies/games. The reason being, your defeating the protection system which is on the disc.
Functionality wise there will be no difference, use your existing profile, use discs as normal. The 360 uses dvd+r dl as it's media source, short of movies/dvd r's, nothing else works.
It may be obselete, but at the time I was flashing drives - certain firmware revisions needed a "trigger" disc to boot certain things. Some of the lads are no doubt more up to date on it than me & can ellaborate better. I remember upgrading the firmware (because the trigger thing was annoying me), and the newer f/w didnt need the trigger.
The activation mode 0800 disc is no longer required unless you're hanging around with a Hitachi drive that has not got an iXtreme LT release or a lower firmware (v1.61). Lite touch is supposed to be indistinguishable from the real firmware, so c4eva had to drop things like wave checks etc
@Stab*City: The charter's fairly clear on discussion of backups, there is to be none whatsoever - there are no qualifications like "if you're talking about piracy, no backups discussion, otherwise it's grand". Wouldn't want to see a ban handed down, especially after you going through the trouble to learn it all 0 -
