    y av u used text speak when real words are needed.
    Anyway, your information is incorrect, 500GB drives work 100% fine, and i believe 750GB and 1TB drives do also (although i haven't used more than 500GB myself)

    Follow a hdd upgrade tutorial, it involves using xboxhdm.

    Adamshrek you shouldn't give advice when you don't know what you're talking about. If you format a partition over 137gb it should be formatted with 32k clusters to avoid corrupution. Where did you even get 160 from?

    anyway brando151 just follow the tutorial and you shouldn't have any problems.

    Eh it's alright but youtube xbox modding vids get you into trouble. I've had more than 20 people contact me on youtube because of this guys horrible instructions. "Just agree to everything it says" usually gets you into trouble.

    Anyway no harm done, if you're new to the xbox modding scene then check out a few of the stickys.

    They're usually combined to save space, but there's a lot of useful information there. Check it out, you'll learn a lot.
