I've got a Gigabyte K8NXP9 Motherboard. Will I be abled to flash it with that it's got a nforce chipset. Also can I use Textbook's tutorial to flash it?

It's Nforce4, so it should be possible. The Textbook tut seems to be the best around, so that's what you should use.

oh boy your fucked now Jenni ,Hitachi dies 7-9 months later and it has that terrible tendency to make a silver ring (scratch) your disks , and after a month or two the main magnet falls off and then the NOISE is HORRIBLE I SAY

but well ...yeah some say thats way you flash to save your original discs Razz

Yeah but you can't flash the 79's without soldering.
I've got all the gear here to do it. But it's intricate to say the least.

Don't know if this is possible, but can I read the chip through the programmer and put the key onto another drive?

I remeber when benq was new and there wasn't any firmware for it so you couldn't flash a benq yet, so what some guys did is they took the hitachi and replaced it with a benq and it worked so it is possible to do it the other way around as well, of course you need a benq for that and these guys worked at a store that sold the xbox so they had extra parts.

You can't get the key from a 79 without desoldering the chip from it.

I could probably do it myself but is it worth the bother. I'll get the key and put it on a Samsung or BenQ.

Well I took the laser out of the Hitachi and put it into the Samsung. Then I flashed it. Worked like a charm. Very Happy

It's dead easy. I was suprised how easy it actually was. Far easier than soldering the xecuter 3 on the 1.6b Xbox 1.
