Q: You said your Drive Key Is "Nulled" or "Blank" What does that mean?
A: If your familiar with flashing an Xbox 360 You will know you have to do a drive dump to get your key, Your drive key is how your Xbox 360 Identifies your Drive and matches it with your console, It is HIGHLY recommended you Make a BACKUP of your drive key before upgrading to the new dashboard
