      Do you have a copy of you dvd key?

      E66: DVD Drive Error - Dvd drive pairing failure: DVD model, or version does not match that of the version expected by the dashboard. OR the firmware version on the drive is older then the firmware version expected by the dashboard. Make sure the DVD drive is of the same version originally included with the console and that it is using either the original firmware included with the console or newer. if drive can eject, read, and write under windows but errors on console, replacing original firmware should fix issue.

          no mate,but i managed to get the drive back to original firmware,after the update completed i loaded the demo disk but it just spins for a few seconds then goes back to home menu,and there are 2 green lights permanently on from when i plug the power supply in

              Well if drive key cant be obtained from the drive the console will have to be rgh for drive key and a replacement drive required.

              Did yo flash the drive yourself?

                      I'd have to have a look but as stated it's a drive firmware issue so could have been spoofed drive.

                      As said if key can't be obtained from drive will need rgh to get it from the motherboard
