Is the right way to do it and will it work with Live? It is a 250 gig, BTW:

1. Swap current Xbox hard drive with new one.

2. Put in Slayer's Auto-Installer 2.6 disk and hit Install New Drive.

3. Lock the drive using ConfigMagic Final.

4. Transfer all files from C and E from old drive onto new drive.

5. Put new EEPROM on (my old one was banned).

6. Make new GamerTag.

That will work, right?

If you have an X3, I find it a lot easier to FTP everything as opposed to using Slayers. Just change the EEPROM in X3CL.

That should work as long as the new eeprom isn't banned also.

well you could also jus stick the new drive and reformat it in x3cl, i think that mite b easier than all this slayers crap. then just ftp all the old files from the stock hdd back on to the new one. took me about 5 minutes lol. :D

What is x3cl?
If I use it, will it have 137 gigs on F drive and rest on G? And have a C drive and X, Y, and Z?

X3CL == X3 Config Live and using it you have the 137G option you mentioned OR you can actually turn it all into one huge F drive and not use G at all. The C, E &XYZ partitions are stock and thier size is fixed so they stay the same as a stock hard disk.

Well, I don't have a Xecuter 3, so I don't think that will work. But this EvoX way seems really easy. I just gotta get the CD workin.
