Concerning to the article on xbox scene, the model 0078FK of the Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L Xbox360 DVD drive which can be found in lately manufactured xbox360 (end of August 06), cannot be modified that easy.
xbox scene says
“That’s all for now….
We are working on it….
Hopefully some poor soul will give us one personally…
So we can destory it and play with it for everyone else….”
In my case I installed a German version of WinXp on the from japan imported Notebook. In the beginning you should backup the DRIVER folder which you can find on the C: Drive somewhere.
After you have done this you can start installing windows with the install CD.
When you finished it starts in windows. Everything seems to be good install all the drivers, which also should work well.
If you cannot handle the keyboard you should install the correct driver for the keyboard which is 106/109 japanese keyboard layout. Also don’t forget the language extnesion for east-asian languages, so you also have the language bar in the taskbar.
You will realize that the fancy buttons like volume, playdvd etc and the brightness buttons (which are accessible over the “Fn” key) doesn’t work. For this you should go to vaio-link.com to download the correct utilities.
The bad think here is that the service will tell you that the serial number which you have to enter is not correct, so you cannot access. In my case I called a friend who gave me his serial number (he bought his notebook in europe). In vaio-link.com you can also select to download drivers from different notebooks.
For the VGN-72B I selected the VGN-T2XP/L which looks quite the same. Downloaded the “Preinstalled Utilities” and it worked, the only application which made trouble was the “wireless switch application”, but its not neccessary because it works even without the application.
My configuration for the internet was normally with a Speedtouch 510 Modem and a Netgear 814 WLAN Router. The Router sucked, crashes when you have more than 100 connections. So I read around and realized that it is possible to use the Modem, which is in fact a Router with DHCP etc as a ROUTER 
First of all you need to get the FW update here .
Now you need to update the firmware. I suggest you backup your old config, just in case.
Next u restart the Router once and disconnect it from the splitter.
In “Advance” -> “System” you select this configuration file and upload it. This configuration file is for the Austrian Provider AON. Just have a look in the config and change DNS adress as you wish.
Next you should put in your User and password, “save all” and restart.
Have fun!
