:idea: this may be of help to people trying to burn cds. i used a memorex 700mb 8x-12x cd-rw and normal windows xp to burn a cd of some files i wanted to transfer over to my xb. using autospeed and the cd writing wizard it worked fine and xbmc was able to read, copy and play files directly off the cd-rw

Using 360 to power 0800 Drive, but it keeps shuting off.

Alright. I've got a spare Xbox 360 and a BenQ drive flashed with 0800 firmware.

I've got the BenQ hooked up via SATA cable to my computer, and the Xbox 360 just has the power cable hooked up and I didn't bother plugging the video cable into it.

So using this setup my computer sees the drive fine in Backup Creator, but it'll only get to about 20% during the rip before the Xbox 360 turns off automatically for some reason.

Is it because the Xbox 360 knows the drive isn't connected? or is it because the video display wasn't connected that it keeps turning itself off.

So is there anyway I can keep the 360 powered while I rip my games with my PC.
