I have 2 hdd's for my xbox, 1 stock hdd and 1 160gb hdd. How would i have them both hooked up so i dont have to keep unplugging the IDE cable every time i want to switch hard drives? Is there some way for me to have them both hooked up and have a switch or something to choose which hdd to use? Someone help pls.
Doing it without 60 bucks. Frying your Xbox is a good option. I tried doing what you suggested and fried an Xbox. X-tender is probably the way to go.
lol, you must be smart.. How can u fry your xbox hookin up 2 hdd's? The worst u can do is mess up the IDE cable which can be replaced. So...Nice job.
You asked for advice, they gave it, you don't want to take it. Then you act like you know more than anyone else. Go somewhere else and ask questions.
BenD188, if your too cheap and seem to know all then *bleep* off and figure it out yourself dickhead!
sk8rpunk, there is no size limit with the newer bios like Achilles3 said. But glad to see you were searching!!! At least some of ya do.
*bleep* you scottas, DO U NOT UNDERSTAND IF U DONT GOT ANYTHING TO HELP ME DONT POST U *bleeping* *bleep*. SUCK MY *bleep*.
BenD188, Run your mouth like that one single time more and you're history. This forum is for adults so act like one.
Just get a DPDT switch, then set it up so that you have all three pieces on the ide cable (dvd/hdd/hdd). Now get the switch and have it so that the 5v and 12v powers for each hdd are conected in a way that only one hdd will power up at a time. Now once you have both hdd's formated and set up the way you want,and the switch is in place.....you will have to do no more than shutdown the box,switch power to the other hdd and restart the xbox....now you will be on the other xbox. easy as pie. You can just switch between the 5v powers if you want,but the 12v that will still be going through the other hdd will cause heat problems in the case and there might be life issues with the psu....best do both 5v and 12v.
thx, but i dont know exactly what you are talking about? Do i have to buy more ide cable or what? and what switches?
That is where teamxtender comes in. They take care of the hard part for you for a fee, reasonable enough.
I'm not sure i understand what you are saying, punqewe, but i drew this picture of what i think you might be talking about. Do i need to buy more ide cable or whats going on?
