I doubt if it is possible to flash your console with this laptop You need a SATA ( serial-ATA ) port to connect the drive, preferably with VIA chipset. http://www.vistax64.com/attachments/chillout-room/10442d1235687578-sata-esata-sata-2-sata-signal-cable-1.jpg Since the p205-s6347 has neither you might be able to use USB to SATA (Serial-ATA) adapter but I doubt if it will recognize the drive http://www.usbnow.co.uk/Adapters_&_Connectors-USB_to_SATA_Adapters/c42_49/p1451/USB_to_SATA_HDD_Cable_+_eSATA_Outputs_(VE444)/product_info.html

Once again, I highly recommend them because I've purchased many things from them and have never had a complaint!

Hmmmm. You would have to actually take apart your laptop to access the SATA ports. They're located on your motherboard. You would also have to take apart the 360 to flash it. You would also need a SATA to USB adapter. (You could easily find these online or at places that sell accessories for the Xbox. eSATA ports are ports found on newer models of PCs produced after 2004, they are SATA ports that are located on the outside of computers that are as easy to access as USB ports. I do not recommend flashing your 360 unless you have lots of time, patience, and are Tech-Inclined. An extra 360 is also highly recommend. Not only is there an extremely high possiblity of your computer or 360 breaking while taking it apart, using the program to flash your drive is very risky. A modchip is a lot easier than doing this. It would also be easier to pay a Geek Squad member to flash it for you:) There is no way to softmod the 360 with homebrew like the wii yet, but eventually there will. Just be patient and dont risk your pc or 360.
