    yes you can use an auto installer i.e. slayers / firefuckers

    but you will loose your game saves music etc etc
    i would personally just make a folder on my desktop with a name like "XBOX BACKUP", then ftp my C and E drives over to that folder.
    its not hard, but if you do stuggle just look around mate for some tutorials, trust me its much better this way ;) for example you get to keep your evox.ini (if you use evox) and you dont need to edit the new one slayers puts on for you, and then you dont also need to update all your programs on it as slayers is knockin' on a bit now
    good luck

    yup just put the hdd in, let slayers rebuild it as a large hdd. (follow on screen)
    personally even though your not going on live i would still lock it.
    thats what i do personally, so i recommend you do the same
    regards
