Installing a new HD in the box with Bios 1957

[Halo2XboxModder]

Yes, i understand that this has been discussed before here, i even looked at the threads.But none of them started fresh from the beginning. I have a 80gb Maxtor HD and I want to pop it in. I know you have to copy the C and D drive to your computer(tell me if I'm right). Thats about it. Someone link me to a tut or tell me exactly what to do.

I have an:
X3 Bios 1957(I dont like updating a bios if it doesnt have a problem)
Xbox v1.0
I dont use live(i use XBC)
and i have EvoX version 3935

Sum1 plz tell me how. I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers. (Wonder if that will help, LOL). Anyways, sum1 tell me how so i dont screw up.

Thx in advance

all these views and no replies? can sum1 plz help me? i'd rather do it this way than with EvoX. The X3 way seems easier.

Since you are already using evox;

1: Run the backup util. in evox to backup your system files ( eeprom.bin, etc....). this will create a backup folder on your C: drive.

2: Ftp into your xbox ( i'm not going into how, you can find many tuts on the subject), copy the Entire contents of your C: and E: drives to your pc. and look at the files and make sure that you have an exact copy of all files.

3: Go into x3cl and unlock your hdd ( so that you can use it in another xbox or whatever).

4: Install new hdd (set the jumpers to cable select, if that doesn't work try master.)

5: Go into x3cl and and use the hdd tools to set up new hdd, format all drives, and set the LBA to F: drive gets all. Format F: drive again.

6: Ftp all the files from your pc to the correct drives on your xbox.(C: drive and E: drive)

7: Lock your hdd

8: Reboot........Finished

Btw...
If you have and saved games on your xbox get a games saves manager and transfer them to your pc bdfore you take out your old hdd. Then transfer them back to the new hdd.

Newbie here - I didn't know there was a games saves manager that tranfers game saves from xbox-PC... I always thought it was simpl a matter of the following:

how do i backup my saved games form my original hdd???

INstall the original drive, FTP into the xbox and get all the contents of E:\TDATA and E:\UDATA. Install the new drive and FTP them back onto the xbox.

Small noobie question? About the updates

Hey guys,
Hope it's all fine with you..

So i've got a flashed xbox 360 for 6 months now, i don't play online, neither play much of offline, but when i want to play a video of form .avi from an external hard drive (a flash memory) it says that i need to update my xbox..

Anyhow, as i don't have access to the internet through the xbox, i wanted to download it from my pc..

NOW HERE'S MY QUESTION,
Is updating my xbox to the latest udpate is going to affect my flashed xbox?
In other words, wll I still able to play copied games without re-flashing it again?

My current update is D:2.0.8955.0 - K:2.0.8955.0

Thanks in advance..
