Hey guys, first post here Smile

Im just wondering what is the biggest hard drive I can install in my soft modded xbox?

I've heard that in order to use anything above 137gb you have to have a special bios flashed to a chip or something...

Im thinking about buying something around 200 - 250gb in size but want to know if I can use ALL the space even though Im softmodded before spending the money on one of these... Confused

Thanks,
tyler893
