    if i were to get a 40gb maxtor hard drive what would i need it to do to use it in my xbox? do i need to format it or what? Do I need to connect it to my computer first or can i just put it in my xbox and play from there?

    do u have a modchip or are u softmodded becuz if you have a chip usually u can just swap them out but if your softmodded then u have to get xboxhdm(hard drive manager) and they will have tutorials to walk u thorugh that....

    waste of time putting in a 40GB go for something bigger like 80GB.for the install pics use google and do a search you should find what you want.read up some tuts they should tell you how to format it and get it working.
