An update has been released for the method to set mode b via windows, and the lite-on win32 based key retriever…
I have written a new exe that uses a different PortIO driver. This new one seems far more stable than the Geek’s Hideout IO driver that I used previously, and as of now has not caused any BSOD’s..
The only disadvantage is that there is a small install that needs to be done, but it’s very simple, only needs to be done once and details are in the rar

>>A Software/Hardware combination method has been discovered on how to extract your drivekey for a lite-on drive…
This exe is a win32 app that extracts the drive key from the Lite-On 360 drive via Serial.
Be warned: This win32 program does not use the windows API. The exe writes directly to the ATA controller’s I/O ports (which requires Geek Hideout’s I/O dll, which I have included in the rar). It also requires that you be using an ATA - SATA adapter to connect your 360 drive to your PC, or an SATA controller that has a legacy mode (try the BIOS setup options on your controller).
Geremia - initial concept
C4eva - the CDB’s and how to send them
Podger - for the code
Seventhson - for the userspace parallel ATA driver
*Please note that this is NOT a firmware hack for a lite-on drive. It is just a way to retrieve the key from the drive for use with another drive (samsung, hitachi, benq) that is capable of being modified.
This release is a revision of the original DVDKey released by Geremia for use within a windows operating system. You can find the original DOS based version by Geremia here
DeViLs360 has written a thorough tutorial using the DOS based version of DVDKey here, and should be updating shortly to include DVDKey32. The tutorial includes the creation of the RS232 Serial cable to connect to the drive, getting the key from the lite-on and spoofing it to work with another drive.
