You'll need to check out the tutorials on this site...MS in a feeble attempt to stop piracy made it so only one hard drive will work with one motherboard, which is refered to a "locked" hard drive...therefore, if you want to use a different one, you will need to unlock it with your pc, install it into the xbox, and then if necessary (if u want to play on live) lock the new one into the old motherboard. Its not an incredibly complicated process, but you'll need to follow the tutorials exactly and have a modded box...hope this helps :D
