Hdd swapping?

[Ajp7987]

Can you swap an old Xbox HDD with a new Xbox HDD and vice versa? (Dont want to purchase a memory card and transfer saves)

provided both HDD's are unlocked then yes you can do that...

I ask because I tried this today and I got an error 06 wehn I did and I was a little surprised to see that happen.

 

[desolate_one]

ahh yes that is because the xbox cannot unlock the hdd, this means the hdd is locked. That is why you must unlock it.

 

[Ajp7987]

ahh i see. I shall do this and then one day in the future I shall make my own system that will be easy to hack into so that everyone can enjoy it.

Thanks for the help

cool well let me know if you get something working, i just buggered my xbox hard drive and now its locked solid... may aswell call it a paperweight now.

 

[Ajp7987]

I will if i can get something working although ill probably end up putting in a larger HDD.

So, your going to spend millions of dollars developing a system then make it easy for people to rob and steal from you. Sure you will!

That's exactly why M$ locks the drives. They dont want you modding and hacking the xbox!
Besides what's so hard?
-Unlock drive
-place in new xbox
-lock drive
Yeah, now I can see how hard it is.

Floppy

Everyone is lazy. Modding systems needs to be easy to do so everyone can.

lol yea i think i agree with you on that, they did make it somewhat easier to install though by supplying the xapt3r. but even then not all xbox owners can use that, as in v1.6 and above is a no go for the solderless adapter .

 

[Ajp7987]

Yea that was kind of upsetting. O well I'm sure they will make one eventually
