ok, i have had my xbox for a while, and have been wanting to mod it for the same ammount of time, as thats kinda why i bought it, but with cashflow now at zero, i was wondering as i have a hard drive laying about doing nothing if i could use Xboxhdm to mod it as it creates the new drive. and if so, how would i go about doing it successfully as i dont want to brick it by screwing up.
i have xboxhdm and ndure on my hard drive waiting for being able to mod it, any help would be much apreciated.

Welcome to the xbox HQ man, we hope you enjoy the site.
SID5 is a much better soft mod then ndure and you will need to get one of the 3 soft mod games (they only run 3 dollars around here).
In order to build an HDD with xboxhdm you need the eeprom from your xbox, so you need to soft mod it to get your eeprom then use the eeprom with xboxhdm to build you large HDD.

Oh right, darn... the only reason i wanted to do it the way of building the new hard drive was because i couldn't get the things to soft mod it in the first place, i live in the UK, and cannot find the right things in my budget of zero, unfortunately.
is there any other way to get at the eeprom? i know i cant simply copy someone elses, but i was hoping i could find another way that the tried and tested ways.

I have built that eeprom reader in the previous link. At radio shack, (2) 5v Zeners, (2) 4k Resistors, and a 9pin Serial coneector + solder and wire. Total cost was $7.
Thats almost zero. Good luck.
