Can you update xbox 360 dashboard with DVD drive disconnected?

    Howdy folks!

    I have an Xbox 360 with a fried DVD drive so I have it physically disconnected.

    While trying to update the dashboard with a USB stick, i get the "cannot process update" error when I agree to update it.

    Is this because the dvd drive is disconnected?

    I'm using a freshly flashed 8GB Stick - FAT32, with the latest update from microsoft extracted to it.

    My current dashboard version is 2.0.9199.0.

    I also tried everything here in this troubleshooting guide, except trying to flash it via XBox live:

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks.

    Yep part of the firmware installation is a drive-firmware flash too afaik, & with your drive disconnected it's causing the error

    Yep, not gonna work. Had an issue with a drive before which ended up in it being removed. Couldn't update the dash until if was reconnected.
