Alright so I opened my 360 ( only took me 3 hours)and I realize I can't get my SATA cable plugged into the back of the disk drive... Is it a very tight fit, because I'm pretty sure all of the same cables would be the same size...? Thanks

Yellow wires in the hole in the front of the drive.
Just pull the plug out, its only clipped in.

Pretty sure it's a benq, how can I check if it's a lite?
Take off your faceplate and go by this guide:

It just doesn't fit into the back of the disk drive, can someone look at it and tell me if the opening looks right? thanks.

Oh wait did I buy an eSATA and that's why it's not working? :3

You can't use an eSATA cable. You need a SATA cable.The normal SATA cables have an L shaped connector.
Lol I know now, thanks +rep for you when I can but do you know where I can find my SATA port in my computer? My eSATA port worked in my SATA port on my laptop but that's because it was an eSATA port... Or can someone please find me a SATA to USB converter or adapter that's cheap? Thanks!

help?

SATA to USB only works with Hitachi, and you may need a PCMIA SATA card to flash it on a laptop. You'd have to take your whole laptop apart to see if you can find an onboard controller.
