XBox Live Question

I haven't modded my XBox yet ( was going to get a 120 or 80 GB HD and a Xecuter 2.3b Lite Plus ) but then I heard that when you go onto XBox Live, even with the mod chip turned off, and the actual game disc in the system, that MS detects the HD, even if it has been locked. Then they will just kick you off XBL.

But, now I have heard that the new BIOS hide your HD from MS. So, can you actual go onto XBL with the new BIOS?

 

you can still go on xbl with your upgraded hdd and not get banned as long as you have your modchip off and are running the M$ bios and using the original game disk, i.e. not a backup. this thing you are talking about seems to have very little activity surrounding it

 

yeah i haven't heard anything about this ina while either so i wouldn't really worry about it.

 

if your worried about it, just dont go on live until there is a definate answer or fix, i got rid of my account until halo 2 comes out

 

or just use xboxconnect
it's free and works pretty well

www.xbconnect.com

 

but u also have to lock ur harddrive
try getting slayer evox autoinstaller

 

with the little news found about ms searching for modded hdd's i read somewhere it was made up by xenium and/or xenium users to get people to buy their modchips b/c they claim they have failsafes against ms doing this. Any links on the subject please post

 

news to me :/
