Read the post man. I want to rewire the DVD power connecter to molex. In case you didn't know, Molex is the standard power connecter for hard drives, cd rom drives, and dvd-rom drives. If it was molex, I would be able to put it in my computer without my xbox, TV, and PC right next eactother. And xbox-scene says that an xbox DVD-Rom doesn't work on Windows. It works on Linux, though. |

Wow, I could've sworn I read somewhere on http://www.xbox-scene.com that an xbox DVD-ROM isn't supposed to work on a PC.
Honestly I still wouldn't do it, it has to be annoying having your xbox,TV, and PC right next to each other along with the limited capabilitys of the xbox dvd drive. |

No. Windows is garbage. I'm telling you that it was detected by LINUX and is able to reaed DVD's. |

Haha. Yeah right. I used my XBox to power the DVD-Rom drive as I had the IDE cable in my computer. It WORKED. Just using the XBox to power the DVD-Rom drive all the time when the XBox needs a TV or it will automatically turn off is a little annoying. |

This is simply not possible, an xbox DVD-ROM drive reads discs differently than a normal DVD-ROM and theres no firmware created to use it on a PC. Im sure theres many other issues than those, but its simply not possible and not the best idea. Go blow 30 bucks on a DVD burner.

1. I'm too poor to buy a DVD-Rom drive.
2. I have a broken XBox. The hard drive is toast.
3. An XBox DVD-Rom drive would be cool.
I've asked on an xbox forum. I've searched Google. I can't find anything... >> |

You think anyone here would know more than say an XBox forum, or Google?  Besides, sounds like a horrid idea when DVD burners are cheap as hell and XBoxes aren't.  |

The XBox DVD-Rom drive has some sort of odd connecter to power it. Does anyone know of any tutorials on how to convert it into a molex connecter? You know: Like which wires go where and stuff? |
