How to Write a New EEPROM to an Xbox Motherboard

Xbox 360 consoles are made by Microsoft and are distributed with motherboards that hold "EEPROM" software which can be copied and edited. Xbox motherboards can be altered by "flashing" EEPROM files over a Serial ATA cable from the computer to your Xbox 360&'s motherboard. The EEPROM software automates the copy/edit process, which can be performed in just a few minutes via the application&'s simple user interface. The Xbox 360 console must be opened before proceeding.
