    Xbox 360 swapping the drives?

    my 360 got the three red lights the other day and i got a core for £110 from game(the 199 deal and traded the games and memory card back to them and few old games)

    anyway it has the samsung drive(i have the 360usb unit) so what i am thinking is there a easy way to swap the keys over and swap the drives on the xboxs if not its not big problem as i am going to send the hitachi 360 to that place that can repair for £50

    who knows can only go by what i have read people that still have red lights or that red lights returned have got there money back so no harm trying really

    i take it the question i actually asked about swapping the drives can't be done then lol
