got a jtagged 360 with no hdd

[truelordcanti]

ok so i traded my wii for a jtagged 360. it works, loads back ups just fine. but it did not come with an hdd. i have 3 other 360s in the house with hdds in the house but i was warned that if i take the hdd off a box with an updated dash that it can mess up my jtagged unit. ive heard you can hook up a sata ext hdd and use that, but i can not seem to fine a tut on it. i have a tb drive thats not in use and would like to use it. i also cant fine a tut on installing freestyle dashboard on to it.can some one point one out for me plz. its driving me nuts lol. thank you for your time -Tom

if you use your xbox hdd, just format drives with the xbox it will erace any update the on
them

Freestyle is simple, once you have the Files (theres one for HDD one for a USB connected HDD) and then theres the rest of the files.. but its a straight forward install, go download Xplorer 360 or something and find the Cache in there and delete the $ysUpdate folder, that will screw you, or if you so into system seting on your JTAG and go to family setting and COMPLETELY all Disable XBOX LIVE CAPABILITIES.
then get Filezilla, and FTP via your IP and port 21, user is xbox, and password is xbox, all lowercase.

you can delete the $ysUpdate folder through that route too, thats how i do it instead of that HDD transfer kit..
if you decide to format the drive via the dashboard, then make sure oyu transfer all your WANT to keep files to a Flash drive!!!

heres where the FreeStyle Dash files go:

Basically, all you need is to have XeXMenu installed on your Xbox360. If you can access it through the NXE, then you can run any program through it, wherever it might be, whether the USB or the HDD.

im lossing my mind trying to find a tut on installing xexmenu. i cant seem to find what im doing wrong. everything tells me to copy over to the root of ext usb hdd, but THEN what? how do i load anything in the xbox? after i copy xexmnu or freestyle dash to root what do i do to load them in NXE?

In this archive, there are 2 files, "freestyle-hdd" and "freestyle-usb".

If your choose to run Freestyle Dash 1.20 from HDD, then copy the "freestyle-hdd" file to Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00007000\ on your Xbox hard drive and place the Freestyle folder in the root of your HDD.

Or if your choose to run Freestyle Dash 1.20 from USB, then copy the "freestyle-usb" file to Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00007000\ on your Xbox hard drive and place the Freestyle folder in the root of your USB.

Now you will have the shortcut to Freestyle Dash present in NXE.

I've been searching the forums and Im still having issues with freestyle showing up in my NXE. I have a screen shot of what is currently on my USB HDD. Where would I put the file that you suggested? Thanks for any help!
