it easy no need for a tut, just pop the new drive on, and place a copy of AID in the dvd drive and power on the xbox, it will tell you how to format the drive, and then just use aid to install the dash and apps you want no need for a tut, with a modchip

Sounds scary. My chip has two banks, should I select bank two and flash that just in case it goes wrong. Scary stuff definitely

How can I tell the bios size? My chip has switches for chip on/off, bank1 bank2, and flash protection on/off.

how can I tell if it is a 512k or 1mb bios? Tried the bios checker from AID but that doesnt really tell me anything. On going in to the bios flash section, at the top it says 256k EvoX M8. Is this going to be correct?
