How to tell what drive you have
Remove your 360 faceplate, you should now see something similar to this.

Look at hole#3, you should see one of these three things:
Circuit board and red wire= Samsung

Black plastic divot = Hitachi

White wires and empty space = Benq THIS IS THE DRIVE THIS TUT IS FOR

Requirements

What you need:
1.A BenQ drive *duh!!!*

8.The tools to open your 360!!!

Tutorial

Step 1:
Make your USB boot disk using the HP boot program and the windows 98 files

You can also make a boot disk with a floppy disc, but it isn’t as reliable, so I wont go into it
Copy the contents from the DosFlash 16 folder into your root directory of the flash drive
Before you go any further, write down the port number for the first port of your Sata card, it will be the first port number in your device manager for it.

Step 2:
Open your 360 using any available guides, or contact me and I will walk you through it if you want personalized help
