will softmod except new larger HDD

I was curious I have a softmodded xbox with Evox installed and was wondering if I can put in a bigger HDD? I can FTP to it and have installed lots of emulators and stuff but need bigger. Will 80 gigs work? or 40 gigs?

 

You need to lock the new hdd otherwise your xbox will not boot with it. It is not easy to lock a hdd without mod chip installed, or TSOP flashed.

 

no it is easy after the new drive is installed to lock it in the evox.ini just undash the lock hd. then click that. it will do it for you.

 

you first need to put this in the menu of the evox.ini
[Menu]
Section "Install Menu"
{
Item "Install New Drive",@210
Item "Settings",@9
Item "Reboot",@5
}

[Action_10]

and undash lockhd. now burn the cd with evox.xbe and your new evox.ini. put in it xbox and boot to it with original hd in. after booted hotswap the new hd into the xbox. click install new drive. when that finishes lock hd. reboot take the cd out. it should work. this is something i thought of it is untested please tell me how it goes. im trying it next week if you want any info then.

 

Thankx I kinda understand, but how do you lock the HDD? What programs and what steps do I take?

 

just use the evox dash lockhd option.

 

If you use evox with a larger hard drive, but dont have a mod chip, can you still copy retail games to the hard drive and play them without the disc? Like, if you rent a game and copy it to the hard drive, will you still be able to play it.

 

of coarse you can. thats the main point in putting a bigger hard drive in.

 

Well, that I know, but I meant without a mod chip.

 

Well I got my HDD in with no Prob. I got a WD 80gig and evox locked it for me. made backups of C: and E: Everything went smooth thanks everyone

 

And also can I take my old xbox HDD and put it in a new xbox that has not been modded and will it work or can I just put it in the new one and install slayers evox and will it work then?

 

no different keys but if you had the same kernel and you relocked it with there key you could.

 

ok i saw evox.ini on E drive but i didnt see any evox.xb on C can somebody help me thanks
