yeah well thats the question.. as seen by my name i am Giantnewb so I wouldn't know how to start doing this, but it would be nice.. it would destroy the motto that you don't even have to open your xbox, but you know if i could keep it easily so that my xbox could turn back to "normal" and then have my linux xbox avaliable with a simple HD swap it would make everything lots easier

eee... well, you want to put a new hhd with the cracked files.... interesting... but, how we can do it?

Just need some information here...
After I install these files onto my xbox... then what?

I would like to run linux but how?? Is it possible to boot linux from a cd after the dayx-files are installed on the xbox, or do I have to do something else first?

at http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ says:

Warning: If Linux is installed this way, and the Xbox loses the time (because it had been unplugged for several hours), it might be impossible to remove Linux for you right now (Linux will always start instead of anything you put into the DVD drive) , but a solution is being worked on right now. (If you have a booting Linux, you can uninstall it by editing the files on C: again, if you only have the default.xbe without a booting Linux, there is currently no way...)

but, I need help... how copy the files to the hdd of my xbox? I connect it to my pc and replace it? or i need to do somethig?
please more info about it...

if your putting a new harddrive in your unmodded xbox, make sure its locked with the same key as your old one, or it wont run

All of the answers to your question are on this site. Some in the tutorials, some here in the forums.

Let's play a little game. I'll start with a hint and you'll do a search to find the answer.

Two ways to get files to your HD without a modchip:

1. HDD swap with PC
2. 007/MechAssault trick with Mega XKey

Enjoy!
