Everyone seems concerned about the implications of only being able to use 8 gigs of the HD... I see this being a good thing (It is to my knowledge that allowing for use of the F drive requires a modified bios, and we're still using the MS bios)...

you may swap hdd's with a xbox using this exploit and get full acess to the F drive just as with a modchip. Yuo must first however insert the hdd into your pc and run hd prepare properly with your xbox hdd key

Have you tried this and can you comfirm it?

The original M$ bios will not recognize an unlocked HDD, and will definitely not recognize the F:\ drive.

This is all assuming you can even get the Xbox to boot off of an upgraded HDD, as M$ bios require the specific Xbox Motherboard\HDD pair to boot...

The implications are as follows (I'm now quoting myself from another thread here from yesterday):

***
Imagine using the 007 or MechAssualt hack to load files into the Xbox

Image those files creating a buffer overflow hack in the original dashboard

Imagine never having opened your Xbox, booting into the original dash, playing XboxLive at will.

Imagine just having to click in one of the original dashboard menus to boot up EvoX and start launching your backups, emulators and mediaplayers

Imagine the end of the modchip business

... followed by a little controversial bit:

***
oh almost forgot:

Booting EvoX is done above by patching the BIOS in ram. Now Imagine EvoX before launching your backup, hooking one of the bootloader routines in the xbe, launching the game, and when the hook is called patching the bios _back_ into original state.

Backups on XboxLive

Keep in mind this could also hurt to good, honest game developers too... if too many n00bs look at this as an "easy" way to pirate games... (although not much easier than a modchip)...

This is true, look at the dreamcast, its poor design also had a boot disk created almost right after it came out, but look at it this way, if games didn't cost $50+, they wouldn't have problems, Enter the matrix made millions of dollars by atari, yet most all atari games are still $40+.  I guess it's all about profit, always wanting more.  I urge everyone to use theyre modchip or bios for its real legal use, backing up your games you spend hundreds of dollars for. And of course playing super mario bros on fce .
