OR, picking up at his "Now have 2 choices" step.

Install new hard disk,
Burn Slayer's auto-installer 2.5 Final to a CD-RW drive.

Boot Slayer's and select "Prepare new drive".

Wait 4-5 minutes and you are done.

Much simpler.

I am a little confused about upgrading my Xbox and mabey ya'll can help me out.  I know tha 1st thinng ta do is install tha modchip.  After dat do I install EvolutionX and ftp ta my computer ta copy tha files off my xbox ta my computer?  If that is right is the next step to install a bigger HD and insert the EvolutionX disc into the xbox and have it configure and install my hd?  Please resond if u can.

looks like you got the order correct.  if ya have problems getting evox installed try slayers auto installer

Yeah - you've got it:

• Install chip
  
• Burn EvoX to a CDRW
  
• Link to PC via FTP
  
• BACKUP C AND E DRIVES TO PC !!!!!
  

Now have 2 choices

• Install EvoX on current HDD to see what it does - good idea for practice but will mean your orginal HDD isn't "original" anymore
  
• Install on a bigger HDD (which I'll go more into as it's slightly harder)
  

• Boot with EvoX CD (with format options) then format the new drive from the menu
  
• Reboot with disk, link with PC and FTP ALL original files across
  
• Bung EvoX across (with configured evox.ini)
  
• Remove EvoX disk and boot from new HDD
  

Now to lock new HDD

• Install config magic on new HDD
  
• Put in old HDD power on and boot
  
• Keeping mains lead in and on (but Xbox off) remove old HDD and put new one in
  
• Load config magic and lock HDD
  

(The reason you do this is so it boots without EvoX (when the chip is off) - keeping the power lead in stops an error - forget which one, but it does  

If you want to use the original HDD for something else, install EvoX, install config magic, unlock it then format it in PC

Then install apps etc
