Sorry but this is a newbie question:

Can I install EvolutionX on a brand new drive with out changing anything on the original xbox hdd?

I'm trying to see if...

Once I create a bootable iso with the proper files and establish ftp between my pc and my xbox and backed up all files in c: and e:

Can I take out the xbox hdd and replace with new one boot again with iso choose install new drive from menu and let it do its thing

Copy all files backed up on pc back to partitions c: and e:, lock the hdd, boot again with the iso then  choose to install evolutionx on the new hdd

Would this work without me risking f*&*&*&* my xbox hdd up?

Do all versions of EvolutionX give that option on the menu to install new hdd?

If anybody can help me it will be greatly appreciated.

pretty much yes to all your questions,

make a bootable evox (change staticIP = yes)

then select backup, to create a directory on your xbox hard drive with a dump of the eprom, hdd password (used for locking / unlocking, etc)

now backup the C and E drives via FTP to your PC, (then burn the backup to a CD and keep it safe)

after that I'm a little unsure, I've never done this yet

swap your drives over

I've never used the new HDD function of Evox, but people say it works!

evox will partition and format your new drive (will give you C, E, F, X, Y, Z)

then simply use your boot CD to boot evox

FTP the xbox original contents back

re-use your Xbox

I've renamed the Evox dash to evoXdash.xbe and kept the msdashboard as the standard name, my mod boots evoxdash first if thats not there then it boots the MS one

Sorry after I read the thread again is was clear to me.  Does the backup of the eprom get ftp'd back to the box?
