Re: Replace DVD drive softmodded xbox
You can replace the Xbox DVD drive with a bit of physical/electrical modding but you'll lose all Xbox game playing capabilities.
There is/was at least one old IDE DVD drive that, with updated firmware, could replace an original drive but you'll be lucky to find that now.
The increasingly common advice is that if your DVD drive can't be fixed or replaced is to TSOP or chip the Xbox and use a BIOS with a No DVD check feature. The DVD drive still needs to be fitted although I believe there is a DVD power cable mod that bypasses even that need.
Install games etc from file downloads etc by FTP instead.
