    Hey, first off to upgrade your hdd with a softmod, you will need a pc, and a copy of this program that will format the new hdd to its xbox partitions, and will lock it so you use it on your unchipped xbox. its called xboxhdm, if you want some sites to get it at pm me or look it u on google, it will help you make a bootable cd to boot the program off your computer, and it tells you everything to do . if you go to xbox-scene.com, and search the program up it will show you some tutorials on how to do it also using xboxhdm.I myself had t do it this way cuz there is no other way if you are working with a softmod.

    Its possible to change HDD with softmod without PC but using a second xbox with mod chip or tsop, it also easier. Before I tell you how do you have access to one i.e a freind with one because I cant be arsed wrighting a guide if you dont.

    I got XBOXHDM, made the boot disks, formatted the drive, and locked it. But when I put it in my xbox it didn't work. Has anyone actualy upgraded a hard drive with a softmod? And are there any other programs like XBOXHDM that might be more indepth? Any help would be great, thank you.
