    Was the xbox totally wiped clean when you bought it? If so you're out of luck there. Memory cards clean? What you'd be looking for is files with certain names. Like, linux, SID, Ndure wierd names. If nothing, then flip the xbox over. Has any of the labels been peeled off, or the rubber pieces in the corners gone revealing screws? If so then maybe someone has already voided the warranty. Either way, unless it's chipped you have nothing without the gamesaves.

    i didnt see any of the weird names u mentioned but i dont know if i was looking in the right place. im new at this so is the correct place just in the memory section, like the game saves?

    Does it boot to the standard M$ dash? Does it boot to another more sophisticated dash? If the name plates on the bottom aren't punctured so as to access the screws underneath, then it's not chipped (hard modded), so then the other option is softmodded. If when you turn it on it goes to the stock dashboard, then it isn't softmodded. And what money would you be wasting? If you're talking about an Action Replay, they're not too expensive (I got mine for like $8.00). And there is a FAQ that tells you how to do a softmod without it.

    Get your xbox modded first, then look in the xbox software section for how to mod halo ;)
