Is this a spare Xbox 360 drive or a pc drive? What model drive is it? Do you have the key for the old drive?

What are you using to flash? You will need the key from the old drive and flash it to the new.

im using my laptop with x360usb, ck3 lite

i dont have the old key or firmware.

i thought i could just put a new dvd key in?
Your drive key is unique and married to your motherboard so you would need the original drive's key in order to replace the old with the new.

Did you throw the old drive away?
