Hard Drive into a Modded 360.

[jajajajaja]

Hello Chaps.
Have picked up a free XBOX with RROD.

Have xclamped it using instructions on here. And for now its working!! Thanks..

Have also flashed drive. Thought I should while I had it open!! Also worked spot on using Cunny's tut.

Now next question is can I throw any old laptop drive into the hard drive enclosure? Or is there restrictions??
And how will that effect going online! Cheers

at the moment mate i would not go on live.
also i know they sent out a patch via live so that modded hdd dont work also i think they are dtectable now when you sign into live (i may be wrong) has for playing om live hang on a little bit more as the lt f/w is nearly ready and will be here soon

[jajajajaja]

Thanks Midiandy.
So its ok to stick a modded hd in then?
Just stay clear of live... for a bit!!
Do I need to do anytghing special to hd before plugging it in?

Go on live. I been on past 2 week playing.

1.61 Sammy.

As for the modding of HD no one knows if this can be detected either.

All said playing on live with modded HD or Drive could always lead to a ban.

[hopefully]

thanks guys this forum is awesome

heh to use a pc harddrive u will need to flash the drive with firmware mate

[jajajajaja]

Nice one. Can I flash any laptop drive with required firmware?? and stick it in hdd enclosure and away i go?

[Time2Play]

has to be sata and has to be either 20 or 60 or 120 and im think there is a firmware out there for 250

Only certain manufacturers will allow you to flash their firmware to spoof an xbox drive.
Even then its not entirely straight forward and might require soldering in some cases.

I cant remember off the top of my head which exact drives are able to be used "Western Digital" springs to mind, but like i said its been a while. Google will definately know.

"HDDhackr" is required to patch the firmware, and you'll need to partition and format it to xfat if i remember correctly.

Like i said not entirely straightforward.

Thanks Chroma. If it was straight forward it wouldnt be fun... Was thinking... does anyone know what the connections specs are for the hard drive caddy?? like could i just pop of to a local electronics store and knock up a cable then attach drive to that??
