Xbox 360 Fat flashed Liteon DVD key extract

My Xbox has iXtreme 1.6 flashed in the Liteon 74850c drive when bought. I was not given the DVD key (actually I have not have such knowledge by then) . Web search revealed dozens of way to extract the DVD key. Some say you need a probe/ USB key pro? / power board tht I do not have.

Further search found a better way. I use Win 7
1) PC e-SATA to connect the Liteon drive, so that no reboot is needed on connect and disconnect the drive (Windows will not show up the DVD drive anyway)
2)  Liteon powered by Xbox
3) Power on Xbox, push eject on Xbox , tray out
4) Push eject again, tray closing, quickly pulled away power cable between xbox and liteon drive.
5) Run jungleflash with administrative right, second tab - DVD Key, select the correct I/O port that recognize the DVD.
6) Extract ixtreme Key, save ***.bin

Pros:
1) No PC VIA card is needed
2) No extra hardware is needed
3) Xbox will be power down after 2.5 mins, so act fast
