OK, i have a stock xbox with 2.0 softmod and it works perfectly. What i want to do is put a bigger Harddrive into it. I also have another couple of xboxes with modchips in them. I will put the new harddrive into my modchiped xbox & format it. Then i will FTP all the files from my C & E drive of my softmod xbox to the new harddrive in my modchipped Xbox and leave it unlocked. I will then put my new harddrive into my softmod Xbox and boot it with the dvd open to start the Softmod options dash. Then i will lock the drive. Hopefully this is all i will need to do. Can you please tell me if i have left anything out.

The way I think you could do this is with the app config magic, backup the eeprom on the modded xbox, back up the one on the softmodded xbox, put the eeprom from the softmod on to the hardmod, lock the drive, restore the hardmodded xbox eeprom, then load the hard drive in the softmodded one.
Should work fine. _________________

OK, i understand about the xbox not booting to dash because the hd isnt locked. But what if i put my mechassault disc in and then turn on my xbox. wont it bypass loading the dash from the harddrive and just boot the game ??
