xbox modders thread

Yep, just clone the drive with the minimum of data on it (it's quicker obviously) ie. soft-mod it and maybe even set up what dashboard you want.
Then if anything goes wrong (fingers crossed, it wont) you'll still have your original HDD, already soft-modded and ready to go back in.


How did you upgrade the HDD before?
I tried (and failed) several times to do it by connecting to a PC.  Using a program (can't remember the name) to extract the HDD password. Burning a CD with the info on it blah blah blah.
Never worked. But I did completely lock-up 2 HDD's. Neither would read in the xbox or PC once I'd finished with them. 
Never had any problems with the Chimp hot-swap method.
