    Allright - the thing is, that i want to be able to Swap any engine in any car Forza 4, but i have not RGH or JTAG'ed my Xbox, and it is not my plan to do.
    i also do not play online, it is a offline Xbox 360 (sometimes online to update firmware)

    So, can i rip my Forza disc, and mod the ISO file, and then burn it to a dvd disc, if i have flashed my DVD drive only?

    i saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73zjDzEMVoo

    but i am not totally sure, if i can do it like this:

    1. Flash my DVD drive
    2. Take the ISO file to my PC and mod gamedb.slt
    3. Burn to any given DVD disc
    4. Insert in my Xbox's Flashed DVD drive
    5. Play with my mod?

    is it that easy and simple?

    also sorry for my poor english -

    I believe it takes a Xbox360 DVD drive with a special firmware to rip store bought games. You would be better off just downloading a .ISO IMO. You need Duel layer DVD +R 8.5GB for it to work in Xbox 360. Clearing your cashe before playing with a mod disc is also always a good thing to do. Flashing your drive depends on what drive it is.

    sure - a downloaded ISO is fine.... so, im not sure wich drive it is( i dont have the xbox right here right now) but is is a 60gb HDMI fat White....

    so:
    (1: flash drive?)
    1. Download ISO
    2. Mod ISO
    3. Burn ISO
    4. Clearing cashe
    5. Play?

    Well when you open the Xbox you will see what the make and model is on the DVD drive. Which is important for flashing. The list is correct. ;) But I will note you need a DVD burner (Flashed or cross flashed) with IBurner max firmware to burn XGD3 (which Forza 4 is).

    Here is a list of burners known to be able to be cross flasshed http://www.xpgamesav...ive-ihas-drive/

    So this part got me a bit confused.... i googled a bit, and i can see that i have an LG gh20ns10 Burner - and as far as i can see, it is not able to burn XGD3, so im thinking of buying
    Lite-On DVD±RW Writer, iHAS124

    ( from http://www.komplett.dk/k/ki.aspx?sku=768359 )
    and as far as i can see, i can use this: http://www.ixtreme.net/ixtreme-lt-lite-touch-download/33961-c4e%92s-burnermax-payload-tool-v0-15-a.html
    to burn the game then?`

    That should work. As far as I can tell. Make sure the IHas is a B chipset.

    Some have the chipset after the number. Example IHas 124B.You can contact the seller and ask as it will be written on the drive.

    So if the drive is 124b then:

    1. Flash Xbox 360 DVD drive
    2. Download ISO
    3. Mod ISO
    4. Open ImgBurn and check dvd size
    5. open C4E’s BurnerMAX Payload Tool and click BurnerMax and wait
    6. Open ImgBurn and check again the dvd size
    7. Burn dvd using ImgBurn?
    8. Play game`?

    Yep sounds good. I can't think of anything you're missing. To flash you may need tools. I'm not up to date on what you tools you need for what drive but if you figure out your drive make and model I can find out easy.

    Well, i read something about you need to extract a key from the original drive, so i sound kinda hard, so i am thinking about using a service, where they flash you dvd drive and install it again for 100$

    you will need an xbox 360 dvd drive flashed with 0800 firmware if you want to rip an original game and you will need to use xbox backup creator to rip the game and also to inject files into the iso then as stated above a compatible writer and dual layers to burn the iso .

    EDIT just noticed the original post date . :|
