I'm going out to buy a 120 gig maxter hard drive tomorrow. Will i need new cables to connect it to my xbox or do i use the original ones.

Thanks

:beer:

Just a straight swap, no need for new cables.

Cheers mate

I'm putting in a new maxtor 120 gig hard drive tomorrow and i'll be using slayers 2.1.

On his selections would i be right in saying that i only need to select option 3

1) RESET / REBOOT
2) Save BIOS / EEPROM (XBOX C:backup)
3) REBUILD NEW LARGE HD on V1.X SYSTEM
3-1) Rebuild v1.X Large HD - 4920
4) REBUILD RETAIL HD on V1.X SYSTEM
4-1) Rebuild v1.X Retail HD - 4920


Cheers

yeha, all i did was selection 3 and then selection 3.1 on the next screen and let it work.... i have a vers1.0 xbox... i think thats what selection 3.1 was for.. just read them before, and you should be fine... i didnt do any of that save bios/eeprom stuff....didnt need to back anytihng up... ionno

But dont you need to lock the HD ?? Isnt there more to it than whats listed above, or no?

You don't HAVE to lock the drive. You only need to if you want to play Live as you need to turn the chip off.

ok, thanks. How do you go about locking the HD though?

Use ConfigMagic tool to lock and unlock xbox HD...
