I don't know about you guys, but my xbox image is only 450mb. i usex winhex with compression-feature. Ok, i have never restored the hdd with it, but im quite sure it would work. The first time i tried backing it up i didn't use compression and the image was over 9gb, so i thought why not doing it with compression, and it became around 20 times smaller   Isn't there a compression-feature in hdd_driver? I've got two questions; 1. I'm going to use some of the exploits, not sure which yet though. If i keep my original hdd, and install a new hdd, can i ALWAYS go back to the original drive if something happens during the exploit-installation(or sometimes after, say i get an annoying loop problem). Or can something happen permanently that makes it impossible to go back to the original hdd?? can i always make sure i'm on the "safe-line"? 2. if i install some of these exploits on a "new" drive(old really 20 gb, but i'm using it too see if i will get the exploits to work, and if it works i'll buy a big hdd) can i run it in the xbox as it is(unlocked), or do i have to lock it to make it work?? PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS!!(or i will have to re-ask them which destroys the threads)

you're "quite sure" are ya? maybe you should test it instead of assuming.


1. you could shock your harddrive wiping it out, or some other bizarre accident. just hold it by the plastic sides and you should be fine.

2. yes you'll need to unlock then relock the new HD, simnce it's old it's probably not lockable and won't work
