Pronounced double-ee-prom or e-e-prom, short for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. EEPROM is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge. Like other types of PROM, EEPROM retains its contents even when the power is turned off. Also like other types of ROM, EEPROM is not as fast as RAM.

EEPROM is similar to flash memory (sometimes called flash EEPROM). The principal difference is that EEPROM requires data to be written or erased one byte at a time whereas flash memory allows data to be written or erased in blocks. This makes flash memory faster.

Ok, now since you want to upgrade your HD, you should get another UNBANNED eeprom with your new hard drive - so when you go onto xbox live with the new eeprom it will 'marry' your eeprom to that specific hd that you will get.

To get an unbanned eeprom, check the buy and sell section of x-s forums.

Hope this helps,
