The hard drive I have in my slim died, kaput, donezo.

I have a hard drive, that I literally just took out of a retail PHAT 360 (my old console from back around 2006ish). What would I need to do in order to be able to use that hard drive in my RGH?

To install FSD/Aurora would I just copy those files over to the new drive as well?

Sorry for the stupid qquestions...I have only done this before with a blank hard drive formatted via the RGH

It's the same thing, just skipp formating in "retail" dashboard.

To install Aurora/FSD copy the files to the new HDD.Install dashlaunch, select Aurora or FSD to start as default.
