OK, I have a standared 1.0 xbox with no HDD in it. I don't have the original HDD. I want to add a new HDD wich I will first prepare with my PC using XBOXHDM. I have the C,E, and F files of another softmod BOX copied to a CD.
My question is, once XBOXHDM is finnished, do I simply plug that drive into the non-mod xbox or is ther something I must do before that? I don't want a 250GB paper weight!
Thanks....

Just don't lock the HDD until you're done and you won't have any paper weights. Besides, if you really had to, you could force a format anyways. As far as plugging a hard drive of that size in to a non modded xbox. I doubt it would work. The Xbox won't know how to use anything of that magnitude. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

you will get service error
because a retail box or a softmodded xbox needs a locked hd, so you will need to have the eeprom from that box to lock the disk first .
