Yup! Another noob to soft mod has just entered the door...
Im gonna dive right in...
How do I install a hardrive from scratch? I have a 40GB HD just sitting in a computer that I do not use. Do you recomend formatting it first? Or will AID do it for me? I think it has win98 on it right now, but like I said, I haven't used it in 2 and a half years.
Also, under the tutalage of gus738, I have managed to install EVOX on my XBOX. I can now watch DVDs and such, but am curious about divx/xvid/mp4 files. Will it play them as well?
I have MANY more questions yet to come, and will post them as I think of them.
I have been a modder for a whopping 4 hours now, so bear with me....

I did the knaves 4.0 one from the post at afterdawn.com
Another question....
What is an emulator, and what do they do? I have opened at least 5 of them. They look different, but all have the same options!?!?!
Oh and what is eeprom? I have a lot to learn.
Is there a glossary here?

Pronounced double-ee-prom or e-e-prom, short for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. EEPROM is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge. Like other types of PROM, EEPROM retains its contents even when the power is turned off. Also like other types of ROM, EEPROM is not as fast as RAM.
EEPROM is similar to flash memory (sometimes called flash EEPROM). The principal difference is that EEPROM requires data to be written or erased one byte at a time whereas flash memory allows data to be written or erased in blocks. This makes flash memory faster.
Emulation is the simulation of sillicon chips or integrated circuits used in a hardware system using computer software. This doesn't just mean games systems or computers, technically you could emulate anything with a chip or circuit in it if you had enough information.
An emulator is the software used to perform emulation of the hardware used by a system. What an emulator (in terms of this site) does is to simulate the chips on an arcade or computer system board and use copied original rom or disk images to run games.
Because an emulator uses rom images which are extracted straight from the original system, nearly all of the software that it runs is 100% perfect to the original. This means that in an arcade game for instance, what you are playing is exactly what you would see on the original machine, the gameplay, the graphics, the music, all of it. _________________

Thanks for the info about EEPROM and Emulators.
How come when I open an emulator, I can never start a game?
I am doing something wrong I know...
Gus,
Can I put more than one HD in my XBOX? Or does it only have one bay inside?
