If you spend time reading and learning - all the guides and metaerials related - you should have very few (or no) problems with your initial install.

| is the solderless adapter kit still have a problem of not hooking up right with xenium ice? i.e. having to stuff a peice of paper under it? |
I just got the Ice Chip yesterday and had to use the paper trick on the adapter.

We just got out stock of Xenium ICE in today and have installed 3 of them today had to use paper trick on all 3 solderless adapters, took them out and used a different solderless adapter, worked fine first time for all 3.
Solderless works great if;
A= You put supplied rivets IN LPC holes for V1.3 through V1.6
B= Use either paper or something under screw hole for adapter
C= Older V1.0 and V1.1 you clean all LPC points carefully and get GOOD contact on solderded LPC points
D= Dont strip the screw when tightening
Good Luck

a 2003 xbox won't be a 1.6, so you won't have a problem

to sit on the motherboard and then tighten the screw!
Dont expect it to work properly if u just hold it and tighten the screw!
Also the use of the rivets makes things better!
Only version 1.0 xbox doesnt require the rivets
since the lpc holes are filled with solder!

| cool thanks guys! I think i still just might order the kit with the adaptor and the pin header so i can just decide when i crack open the xbox As for the hardrive? again what do you guys think?lol. Thanks |
White Label and Maxtor are three words I don't like to hear together...
I would strongly consider this drive instead. I'm not really a fan of WD either, but I would take one over a Maxtor anyday.
No guarantee's you'l be able to lock that Maxtor, but the WD will...
