    I've got EvoX modded onto my Xbox. I'm looking to buy a hard drive cheap to store games on. I want one with enough space for a about 30 games? Will that be expensive and how much will I be charged to get it fitted.

    Sorry lads but I only know how to play games, I know nothing about specs or anything.

    fit the drive yourself its just like a pc and is it softmodded or do ya have a chip?

    Get a 200gig HDD from komplett.ie for around 100 quid. Backup everything you want first. With a chip, it's just a matter of opening the xbox, replacing the HDD and then running a bootdisk. Finding the bootdisk will be hard. Slayers is what you want.

    If its a softmod it can be quite tricky for the non-technical. You'll need to lock the new hard drive with the code from your xbox eeprom. The xbox is designed to function only with the hard disk supplied, so you have to 'trick' the bios into thinking the replacement hard drive is the same one.

    Typically, this is done by first getting the eeprom from your xbox, hooking up the new hard disk to a PC, burning a specialised bootbable linux disk with your eeprom on it, booting the PC with it and using the locking/unlocking tools on there.

    oooooooooook. First of all it is not softmodded. It has been soldered on. I really have no idea what you are suggesting after that though to be honest so fitting the hard drive is probably, no, definitely not an option. I am extremely untechnical with this type of thing

    Anybody know who or where would fit it?
