Xbox Hard Drive

[ditta]

Hey

Just had a couple of questions about a internal hard drive that i would like in my Xbox:

1) Which brand would be the best for my Xbox, many say Maxtor are not good, and Western Digital are better but would like some point of views please.

2) When i buy it i will probably purchase a 200GB hard drive, now i have already backed up everything on my Xbox to my computers hard drive, so all that is safe. So if i want to boot games from my Xbox as i dont have many disks left, what do i do to do this?

Thats i think, if i missed something please mention it.

Thanks

1. Anything will work. I personally use Western Digital. See the link in my sig for a list of lockable drives if you want to use LIVE.
2. I don't really understand what you are asking here. DVD2Xbox will allow you to rip the game from the disc to the Xbox hard drive.

But when i do that i cant seem to boot it up, i press A but nothing , eitheir i m doing something wrong i dont know, i would also be getting the hard drive for storage using it to boot games would be a secondary option.

Hope i made sense

When you do what? What are you expecting the A button to do? Why would you get a 200 gig drive if you weren't going to put games on there?

I've had issues with seagate 120s on two seperate occasions. Got a WD instead, and all was good. I would just say to go with Maxtor or WD to play it safe. Those are what all of my friends have put in theirs, and they all work just fine.

I have never had trouble with Western Digital HDDs. I even have one from 1998 in my server and it still works like new! Anyway, I purchased a Western Digital WD3200JB 320GB hard drive for my Xbox and it works perfectly with XBMC and DVD2XBOX. With 2 day shipping, it costs around $150 from westerndigital.com
