I just received my xenium gold last night and I have a 250GB HD to put in my box.  As I am to understand, as long as my xbox has not been on LIVE previously (or I get a new eeprom), and the chip is turned off and the default dash is loaded, I will be able to use xbox LIVE fine, right?  I am incorrect in this statement?   I have read that the upgraded HDD will result in a ban, but also read that if the box was never on LIVE previously, it will be fine.  

Anyway, I will probably be starting the chip install tonight...we'll see how it goes.  Wish me luck, and thanks in advance for this question.  Sorry if this is not the right place to post it.

you are correct, old box no live + new HD = fine for Live. When you launch the retail kernel the chip is off, rmember to get a live blocking bios so when you play from the HD live enabled games cannot connect to look for updates, or just makesure you not on a netowrk when you do. My suggestion is the X2 50XX series.

Ok so I installed the chip and upgraded teh HD successfully.  However, I thought my stuff from the old drive would be copied over during the upgrade process, but apparently I was wrong.  Is there anyway to copy that stuff over to the new drive from the old one?  I don't see anything on the new drive when I connect to it with flashFXP.

open up FlashFXP. Go to options and then Preferences. Go to the connections tab and de-select 'use passive mode'. Then go to the advanced tab and under list method select 'Default'. Click ok, restart FlashFXP and try connecting to your box again.....see anything now?

the harddrive wizard will have copied all your partitions on your stock drive to the new drive. It then should have used the left over space to create an F partition (or an F and G partition depending on what settings you used). For a 250 gig drive I use F drive only, the partition comes in at about 232 gig, just under the recommended 237 gig max.

What version of FlashFXP is that?  I tried it with the new Beta version and it didn't even have tabs anywhere.  I am going to try an older version tonight.  I may also try FileZilla.  And I did the F only for the 250GB drive as you suggested.  I'll try the FlashFXP stuff later and let you know.  Thanks man.

smart ftp works nicely.

If the xbox you want to use on live has never been online then you can use the upgraded harddrive(as long as you have all the stock files on C and E setup like they would be on a stock nonmodded box)
