Hi can you bypass the DVD, I keep getting error 12. I have a DVD which is causing system to not boot. I swapped a DVD with my only working one and I was able to softmod. Can i use the faulty drive for the check.

Short answer is NO a soft-mod / stock bios needs to see at least a working board from a DVD drive.

If you reflash the onboard bios on a 1.0 - 1.4  or fit a mod chip on any version 1.0-1.6 then you can remove the DVD completely.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
