xtreme firmware

[naughtsmart]

i am looking at Author's guide and i did what he said to do but i dont know what he means by this

"To flash, boot to DOS and skip SAMREAD/xRead entirely and run SAMHACK/xFlash as your first step." and what other steps are there?

And from textbooks guide what does this mean

the only way to backup games with a Samsung drive is if it is flashed with the xtrm0800 firmware (from the first firmware release) or with an xtreme firmware and using 0800 disc.

i want to use my xbox drive to backup my games how is that done.

You must have Xtreme5.2 or lower firmware flashed to your drive.

Crack open your 360 and disconnect the sata cable from your drive. make sure you have the power cable and that cable that hooks up your sound and video, i forgot what thats called, or else, your 360 will turn off.

Turn your 360 on, making sure there is no cable connected to your drive, except its power cable. Open your drive and put in your 0800 disc, count to 10 or 15, then eject the 0800 disc.

plug a sata cable to your 360 from your computer, and windows should be able to see your drive.

Use Xbox Backup Creator to create the .iso file.

This was in Textbook's tutorial.
