I few months ago a friend of mine modded my xbox. I have no clue what he did to it, all i know is that i gave him a 200GB IDE hard drive and now i can burn dvds and xbox games. He said he didn't add a modchip or anything like that, said it was all software. It works fine but now i want to stick my old xbox HD back into the xbox and put the 200GB one in the computer i just built. How do i get the HD out and put the other one back in?
first ask him if he locked the 200gb...if he did you will need to unlock it before you take it out...if it is locked it will not work in your pc. just take it out and put the stock hd back in...you will have to ask him if he installed the files for the softmod on your stock hd, cuz if he didn't your xbox will run as if it were retail(lose your mod). put the unlocked 200gb into your pc and format it, and it should be good to go.
just a quick one, probably a silly question, i replaced the xbox fan with a cool 8cm one with 4 diff coloured led's. I switched the fan speed with the 12v mod (split the black ground wire and taped it to the heat shield), noisy as hell by the way, but the led's shine much much brighter. anyway, the fan blades face the same way round as the xbox fan did before it, but it blows a friggin gail out the back of the xbox, i assumed it would need turning around if thats the case as the gadgets inside would want all the nice air blowing over them....is this the case, do xbox fans and normal pc case fans spin the same way, am i talking out my ass...someone please advise before i take it to bits again and turn the fan round.... its just that i sat and watched the cpu temp go up right infront of me on the 'dashboard' settings screen. regards...jim
