How have the backups been made? Are they on double layer media? Do they have the SS patches on them?You will need to see which drive is in the unit,if the date of manufacture ( on the back of the 360...you can see through the flap on the box)is before july, you should be OK, if its after , you might have the new Hitachi, which needs surgery on it I'm afraid to get the firmware in

The only way to do them is to remove the chip( after removing the glue on it). It may not be one of them yet so don't panic quite yet.you will have to go into the console to find out. Heres a handy tip, you can remove the security microsoft sticker in one piece if you heat it with a hair dryer, and remove whilst hot if you are careful. f its not the right drive, could you take it back and get your cash back maybe?

All the best
