External Storage

[middots3]

What do you all use to store your 360 ISO's on?
My collection is mounting up now and im wanting somewhere to store my games, instead of on my HDD.

I thought about getting an external but i can't be ~~~~ed forking alot of money out for one. I've got a few old pc's in the loft and i took a HDD out of one of them, but can't figure out how to hook it up in my brand spanking desktop to use it and format it.

Any cheap alternatives or can somebody help me use my old pc's hdd in my new one, format it then store 360 games on it?

Needing a pc techy!

set the jumper on the back of your hard drive thats already in your pc to master and the jumper on the storage drive to slave - if your using ide cable then stick the master on the end plug of the cable - turn pc on when drive found, right click and format.

You can then drag and drop your iso's onto it, I have a second drive to keep anything worth keeping on it incase pc crashes or needs reformatting.

My old HDD doesn't have a sata connector, like my new one.
I've seen a sata HDD on eBay for ?30, 500gig, might invest.

You can use IDE just the same. As mentioned just do the same with the IDE as you would sata. FOrmat and then use it for storage.

stupid question-is it possible to play these iso's straight from an external hard drive?

Only if you have a JTAG console.
