Ok I dont have this drive yet, and I am sure I could
figure it out but figured maybe someone would know.

I will have a Hitachi v79 with Ixtreme 1.4

I just need to read the file off the drive for the key all I want,
but I am curious if its flashed with Ixtreme do I need to
run the unlock cd agian and such like I did first time I
flashed it?

Or is it simple as plugging it in, mode-b and dump....

(I am putting new drive in just curious)
Thanks guys

I don't think there is an unlock cd, I always thought it was mode b. If not, i think for all drives flashed with 1.4 and above can be unlocked by powering the xbox with drive half open. To do this, power everything on, eject your disk tray, click eject button again, and unplug odd cable before the drive shuts fully. But I wouldn't do that unless you are sure you have to unlock it and it's not just a mode b. If it is mode b you are talking about, yes I do believe you have to put it in mode b again. Just a question, why would you get a hitachi preflashed if you are just replacing the drive?
