ok im gonna swap my hard drive to an 40Gb but all the tutorial sites i read up on say u have to have a modchip to swap hard drive i only soft modded my xbox so can i still swap drives.
check out www.xbox-scene.com i'm not sure about softmods, it should be possible but not sure, i know if you like live and your xbox has been on live before, you'll need to change your eeprom when you change your hd, these are matched together by xbox live and if one changes, your box is banned. and i don't mean from matchmaking, i mean completely. and what ever gt's you had on the box are marked that you've been banned for a modded box.
Actaully I tried swapping my HD's with a softmod it didnt go so well but after all it did work.....Its time consuming and really challenging......I suggest use the xboxHDM to clone the drives and if not use Slayer Evox Auto Installer
Try swapping ur HDD when the softmods where berly release now thats a bitch, there was no INfo on how but after a acouple of days I figured it out.Now its realy easy I think.U can use xboxHDM but the only thing i don't like its no process bar.So u can either try WinHex or Norton Ghost.All you have to do is clone original HDD to another (Bigger HDD) then use ConfigMagic to backup EEPROM.FTP EEPROM to PC.Load eeprom with LiveInfo Beta then It will generate a new EEPROM key to lock new HDD.
ok dont sound too hard i mean i dont have anything on my other hd except the softmod and games saves....but i dont want to have to hook up my bigger hd to my computer.if i can just switch and do what needs to be done i would like that a lot...
i downloaded xboxHDM but it seemed a little out there is slayer evox auto installer easier??i also seen another auto installer called (call auto installer deluxe will that work as well) i just want to do it the easiest way if there is an easy way. and i dont play on live so do i still have to back up my eeprom??
