So I've identified this chip as an Aladdin chip, but I'm wondering if I can pop in a new hdd, as the other is busted. I should clarify, that this XBOX was bought on a flea market, and I've not installed this myself. I've posted a pic for reference
It should be a case of just swapping drives over but you'll need an installer disc to set it up once installed - here is a guide I stumble on, hopefully it can help. http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=869216 good luck
Use the AID disc to set up the hdd (slayers is outdated) the link below will most probably have it,if not i can upload an iso to mega.You can use any hdd upto 2tb,however to format it you'll need the new updated partitioner also at link below.The site below will have any info you need as it's an active original xbox site http://www.theisozone.com/
