mine is soft-modded and i got my 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB western digital drive to work just fine. Use a newer bios and it should work great!

How exactly do you utilize a drive that's bigger than 137gb?
I have a Maxtor 160gb in right now, and it's working fine, and I've locked it with Config Magic. But it still only recognizes 137gb. BTW, I have an Xecutor2 Lite.
Thanks for the help.

Can someone tell me with the info below ,would this xbox be capable of having a bigger hard drive put in .I think it is but just want someone to verify it for me , i had a look at the table on here that kinda explains ,the types of chip etc ,and i came to the conclusion that ,it would be safe to upgrade the hard drive ,as i believe the chip supports hard drive swapping ,Exactly waht wpuld happen if the chip didnt support the hard drive swap ,would it render the xbox useless even if the original drive was put back in or what ,anyway if someone that knows could give their opinion <Thanks

chip type-lpc based(sst 49lfozo
using genuine bios-evox d6 eject fix

Just keep the old HDD as a backup. I would rcommend the X4981.67 bios for you, I would flash your chip with it. If, for some reason, the mod doesn't support HDD swap, then just pop your old hdd back in there.

Does anyone know if you can upgrade your harddrive if you dont have a mod-chip? maybe with a new bios or with slayers autoinstall or something similar? this would be very helpful thanks.

i have xbox version 1.0, I've heard that I don't need a modchip to change hd on this version, is this true?

What about the 300gig hard drives? I was thinking of putting in one of the new 400gig hard drives but I didnt want to try it without getting some more information about it.

I dont care about locking it because I never use the original dashboard. I have xbox version 1.0 and the latest evox on my xbox.

I hope I can use the 400gig drive in it but if its not possible yet, then can i use the 300gig?

Simple question for you all....

is it definately ok to use 7200 rpm hard drives in the xbox nowdays...I've been out of it all for a while.... no fears of burning out anymore?
Thanks...
