Can i use my xbox360 to power the DVD drive for my PC!

[NastNastNast]

I need to use my old xbox360's dvd drive for my pc real quick to install some CD drivers. Is it possible to use the 360s board and power supply to power the drive while the SATA is connected to my pc?

Can you not download them and stick em on a usb drive?

I cannot download drivers via usb at the moment. I just would like to know if the power from the xbox360 to the drive is constant or requires the SATA from the 360s board.

Never tried it but the signal cable and power cable are entirely separate on PC drives. So it may be worth a try.

Yep you can do that
