I did find that the same method to transfer the lock code is also potentially used to make the xbox read burned media. I haven't really found anything too much more specific than that. After more research, I found that you need SATA cables and a PC that can handle it, plus some software. I opened the good drive to confirm, and it too was soldered together. The boards were physically soldered to each end of a wire. Much to my surprise, the board in this particular bad drive was non-separate-able from the board. Now, in this whole process, I have already gone so far as to order the replacement drive and rip it apart to try to transfer the board. This, by contrast, is done by connecting the drives to a PC and doing something to each of them to transfer the code. There is another method involving getting the lock code itself out of the broken drive and putting it in the working drive.In order to have the disk drives share the same lock codes, one method of doing this is to swap one of the internal boards from the broken drive to a new, replacement drive. In order to have the replacement drive work correctly (read: work at all), it must have the same lock code. It's possible to replace a drive in the 360.After reading a number of guides and such I have come to find a few things. I am not entirely certain of the legality of this situation, and just smack me if it's not, but I have had a problem with my xbox 360's disk drive.
