Ahhh, but the convenience of not having to get up!
A larger HDD also lets keep music, movies, and non-dvd videos on the HDD and allows for easy playback from xbmc. If you have the xbox networked though, you can stream all of that for even easier use. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

I think im going to setup XBMC finally. Is this alright?- Before for some wierd reason i had avalaunch and evox as my dashboard and both were Evox M8 bios. I used EVtool to look where the bios looks for the dashboard. I could launch both. But, is it alright to have two dashboards on my launch menu, and any tuts for setting up XBMC

I would try different media or DJB (the creator) offers a service where he sends you a copy of AID3 on disc pre burned a xbox ready.

There will be a folder called XBMC which contains a file called default.xbe along with other files and folders so just FTP that folder across into F:/Apps or G:/Apps

You can add videos, pictures, and music easily. Just create folders in F or G called videos, music, music and go to the relevent menu on XBMC and select the file to play.

For music and such you can also create playlists that you can use that already point to the files on your hardrive. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

Is there a program that shrinks the size of my pictures? Because i have a stock HD, and i have about 1,000 pictures i would like to have on my xbox. (To backup, because once my entire pictures folder got deleted somehow )
I tried Jpeg Sizer 5.3, except it wasnt free so after 30 days i had to pay. I uninstalled it and downloaded it again, but the program remembers that i have to pay for it.
