Upgrading HD on Softmodded Xbox Tutorial

Thanks bro, will do.

 

Still waiting on AR to come in the mail Getting ant'sy

 

Amazing Swango. . . Simply Amazing!!!

 

Cut it out guys my head is already too big for my body.... Thanks for the praise... and good luck

BTW any luck on the AR card ??

 

No; i sent an e-mail to the provider today b/c i paid for express mailing w/ an estimated delivery date of 14 Sept. Maybe "someone" is looking out for me and i get it on Friday so that I'm not up untill 3 a.m. on a work night messing w/ the XBOX. LOL.

But it needs to hurry up already, i'm lookng foward to having a little fun w/ the old box.

 

Got an email back saying the package came back to the seller as undelverable, and he dosn't know why. It has been re-sent and i have a tracking number now.

 

Hey guys.

Sorry if this questions been asked but I tried looking through the various pages but 41 was to many >_>

I used evox to backup my eeprom then ftp'd a copy of it and my C: and E: drives onto my PC. Put them into the various locations of xboxhdm as the guide said and created the boot DVD.

Unplugged my HDDs and connected the replacement HDD onto the IDE connection as the master and the DVD player as secondary.
(I checked the working HDD lists and the HDD I am using is listed as working with xboxhdm).

I boot the computer from DVD, it loads fine and goes to the first menu, I pick option 1, it does some loading then goes to the command menu and I type in xhoxhd.
It says starting process or something, then gives me about 15 lines of errors saying that it can't find the linux CD. (the errors are all the same, like it tried to do it several times).

 

@rapturer....

Try using an older pIII. My newer emachines will not boot the linux cd either... I have to take out an old "frame" of a computer like an 800mhz with 64mb ram and use it to do all my Xboxes...I do not know why, couldnt explain it, I just know its the way it is....

 

Aah dam. Well that's going to be a problem

Might just have to burn the games then I guess.

 

Wow, 4 years and 40 some pages later, people are still here modding their glorious Xboxes!!! Simply amazing!!

 

I've got a spare 300GB IDE drive so just found this thread. Great to see the community is still alive!

 

@ Swango

Thanks! Worked perfectly, just a minor bump in the road. I couldn't figure out while UnleashX wouldn't load, so i uninstalled, then re-installed. Still wasn't loading AAARGGHHHHH, so i did a little research and found if i didn't set the Clock it prevents UnleashX from loading.

 

Now to start the fun! Emulators! (of course only games which i own)

 

WOW!! That FLASH FXP is a B1tch! I just spent hours (since the last post) trying to set it up with no luck. I looked through the help forum, but nothing seems to apply to me, i just cant get the xbox to show. here is what i got....

Cable modem, connect to a Netgear WGR614v7 router. From the router to my Desktop, then out of another port to my xbox. My PC showed me this when i ran the network config

IP Adress: 10.0.0.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default: 10.0.0.1

I set my XBOX IP to 10.0.0.10
(went to propertes like in the Flash FXP guide changed it from auto ip detect to these settings)
Added new MY XBOX in Flash FXP enterned in the info hit connect, and error error error. It says it cant connect.

Any ideas? ( I promise i have read pages of info about this but none of it seems to apply)

 

Cool, i'll google it also. First thing I'm gonna try when I get home is just using a Crossover cable. I seen a vid on Youtube using it w/ vista that looked pretty easy. Though that wont be untill tonight, i'll report back on how it goes. By the time i saw the video last night it was just too late.

 

I use SmartFTP and set the xbox to DHCP (not Static) whatever the IP address it gives me I put into SmartFTP and username XBOX and password XBOX and works everytime.

Here is a link on how to use flashfxp if you so choose though..

Cool, well if this vid I saw on youtube dosn't work i will give that a shoot, just need to default that xbox back to original network settings. Will keep you guys posted.

 

well now everytime i connect DHCP or Static it sets my xbox ip to 0.0.0.0

Now i don't have any idea what is going on, i ditched my $15 x-over cable (bought today), reconnected to my router, skipped the whole step where i mess w/ my internet connection properties on my computer, and did a quick connect w/ the ip that finally showed on my xbox, now im connected, WEIRD...hopefully i don't loose this now!
