Kai Schtrom nous livre aujourd'hui via xbins une application baptisée Inquiry Patcher et destinée à faciliter la reconnaissance des lecteurs Xbox 360 sur PC. En effet, avec ce logiciel pour Windows, la commande inquiry de windows sera patché et votre lecteur sera reconnu de manière native sur votre PC. Ce soft permet donc de faciliter le dump de vos originaux.
Attention, Kai Schtrom recommande de désactiver le patch avant de faire une mise à jour système (Service Pack) sinon il se pourrait que Windows conserve les fichiers patchés comme authentique et que vous ne puissiez plus retirer le patch.

On Windows Vista and upward operating systems all DVD-ROM drives will get removed from device manager
after the patch is enabled or disabled. This is the only way to get a clean drive status after patching
drivers. If you reboot directly after enable and disable, the drives get reenumerated by Windows
automatically and show up in device manager with the correctly loaded driver.
Pay attention that after this patch is enabled all non XBOX360 DVD-ROMs will also receive the changed
inquiry CDB command and run with the patched CDROM driver. This should be no problem for most DVD drives.
Before installing a new service pack you should disable the patch, otherwise it can happen that Windows
keeps the patched driver files.
If you get a hang at boot time or Windows displays a CD symbol on the right side of the mouse cursor
after enabling the patch try to eject and close the XBOX360 drive tray.
As always use this tool on your own risk!
