They do similar things. Chimp copies your existing installation, HeXEn builds you a clean Kingroach NDURE 3.1 softmod from scratch. Use whichever one you feel most comfortable with.

If you're using Chimp make sure you use the latest version - 2618.

Before you jump feet first into upgrading the HD and changing the softmod, there are a few things you should do.

First, FTP the C and E drives to the PC for a backup. Make sure the eeprom.bin file is included. It should be on the E drive in a temp or back up folder.

Second, play around with the Xbox to learn what you can do with it. You may like XBMC as the dash.

Third, check to see if the Xbox can be TSOP flashed. If it can, you can put in your hard drive and use Slayer's to build a new HD with just the Xbox.

Before you begin all these steps, take some time to do some reading here. While you wait on your Xbox to arrive, this would be a good time.

There are many people here that have problems because they move too fast and don't back up their existing files. The eeprom.bin file is THE MOST IMPORTANT file for a soft mod. With it you can build a new drive from scratch and lock it to the Xbox it came from.

Everything you need to know about TSOP flashing.

I read somethings it doesn't have a mod chip its just a softmod thanks anyway though.
also the HDD i have is a    Seagate    ST31000528AS    1000 GB    7200RPM no buffer and its SATA so how will i install it if the xbox only has IDE cords.

firtst off TSOP flashing has nothing to do with having a chip. it is its own way of modding a box and has almost all the features of having a chip. it usually requires you solder a couple of points together on the motherboard.
second, the thing about the sata drive has been answered to death if you did a bit of searching as i suggested earlier. it has its own stickied post in one of the forum catagories. in the intrest of being nice and because i enjoy helping i will point you to it.

1TB sata HDD upgrade

but as 1hotjob has said. there is no better way to get things done right the first time than to take your time and read, and READ CAREFULY, any information you can find on a subject. that is where the search function comes in and your initiative to find and learn the answers to your problem. there is literaly days worth of reading on just about any and every subject you could possibly want to know about. at the very least, i suggest you look through each catagory and read up on any of the stickies that may apply to something you wish to know about.

When I first joined this site I spent days reading through the posts trying to answer my own questions and not wanting to sound like an idiot with my own problems. I knew absolutely nothing about the Xbox. I had bought a modded Xbox and all my friends wanted me to mod theirs. After reading and learning all I could on my own, I began to ask questions about what I couldn't find. People were very helpful.

One thing that I read in many posts is this: You are here to learn, not to be spoon fed. I took that to heart and would read pages of a topic that I was trying to learn.

There is way more to learning about the Xbox than we can type in this topic. We are always here to help, but you will get better results if you show you are trying to learn and come back with questions you may have about a subject.

It took me a long time to learn about the link and quote buttons above. If there is a question about something you read, either post a link to it or copy the text and put it in a quote so we can read what you read.

Sorry about the rambling and my intention isn't to make you feel unwelcome here. We will try to help you in anyway possible.

the HDDs work just fine, its the converters that are hit and miss. do a bit more research and perchase one that has been recamended by somone that has completed the mod.
i have not done this mod yet, but it is in my near future. i know i have read somewhere of a properly working converter.
anyway, what your looking for is SATA to IDE converter. they make them so that they plug right into the back of your SATA drive and provide a compact conversion to IDE.

Personally I use a 200-250 gig drive for Xbox games and some media. I have a home NAS system I stream audio, video and pictures to every Xbox I have. It is a lot simpler for multiple Xbox set ups. If you are going to have one Xbox, I can see the allure of having everything on there, but you can still stream media from a shared folder on the PC.

I tried a couple of adapters in the PC, but never worked for me. I wouldn't want to deal with the irritation of trying to find a good one. There are some posts that will give you a good model to use though. Good luck with it.
