1. Before you do anything back up your Stock HD via FTP
2. Once you have your Stock HD backed up to your computer then i recomdend unlocking it. (do this with X3cl)
3. Turn off your xbox and take it apart and fit in your new 250GB HD.
4. boot into X3cl and format it.
5. once its formatted then copy what you backed up from the stock HD
6. Lock it if you want to boot into M$ bios.

Then you should be able to FTP to the box, and back every thing up!

I'm also planning to upgrade my hard drive which i've never done before. I upgrade my HD can I still connect to Xbox Live? Can X3CL do everything? Is there anything that i should be aware of before and after doing this?

set up the partitions correctly also... as in F: gets everything unless u want a G: also....so you can actually acess the rest of your HDD not just C: and E:

AND NO if you have previously signed onto XBL at least since the release of Halo 2 you will be banned if you sign on with an upgraded HDD
